question about ISMEAR tag in INCAR

#1 Post by sillymuyuer » Thu Jan 19, 2012 12:10 am

Dear all,

I have a question about the ISMERAR tag in INCAR. I am trying to calculate the total energy of species (like oxygen, OH and other staffs) on the surface of transition metals (like Ir(100)). I am curious if I can use ISMEAR=1 for this calculation? Does the Methfessel-Paxton method only work for PURE metal and must not be used for system with adsorbates on the surfaces(like my case)?

Thanks!
