Hi, everyone,

Is there any way to convert g03 checkpoint file into the format that g98 =
can read?

By the way, is it possible to read the wavefunction saved in a .wfn =
file?

Thanks in advance.

Yubo

Dear CCL,

I am looking for recommendations regarding literature about band-structure
calculations. Specifically, we are coming from the "molecular electronic
structure" background, and we want to branch out into extending some of our
methods, applications and ideas into extended structures that require periodic
boundary conditions. For that, we are looking for introductory material that
explains to us the basic concepts etc. To give an example, we are thinking about
questions such as, what is the equivalent of the total energy expressions that
are the basis for most molecular methods?

I appreciate your help! Please reply directly to me because I am not currently
subscribed to the list. I will definitely post a summary.

Best regards, Georg Schreckenbach

Hi, CCLer:
  I have a few basic questions for molecular dynamics.
  1) why the system has to be neutral in molecular dynamics? From the
numerial point of views, it seems that to be neutral or not does not
affect the numerial algorithm. We still can get results. I know there must
have some physical meaning behind this, anybody can give a answer?

  2) why the cutoff distance can not larger than the half-size of box? If
we use the Ewald sum method to calculate nonbonded interactions, the
system and its images have been extend to infinite. If we use the cutoff
method, the system is confined to the finite size by using periodic
boundary conditon. My question is that if we extend our simulation system
to infinite as the Ewald sum does, the half-box cutoff is not required for
the simluation systems.

   I will appreciate for your clarification.

   Jay

As far as I know it's a dft-related error. Gaussian checks the charge
resulting from the integration of the density to the number of electrons,
and in case of a large difference prints this eror message. Try a denser
grid with the "integral" keyword.
