Comment on Miedema et al.’s Enthalpy code — 25 years after.. by Fabio Miani

Mon, 20 Jun 2016 16:19:33 +0000

Interesting and .. forgotten remark!! Still in the 90s the Miedema applications were quite neglected by (most) of the metallurgical community.. I learned how to manage it indirectly from a textbook ( by N.A. Gocken, Statistical Thermodynamics of Alloys) and applied it ( with a lenghty probably unuseful algebraic description) to Fe-C and Fe-Cu.. Nowadays Miedema code is embedded in some (nearly) free commercial software for computational metallurgy.. such as Pandat (from computherm http://www.computherm.com) to compare Calphad based results.. And is usable online ( see for instance.. http://www.entall.imim.pl/calculator/ or the original Zhang Miedema Calculator.. https://zrftum.wordpress.com/category/miedema/ ) I have propose to my students it.. but they prefer to see already the phase diagrams produced!!

Comment on Two bash scripts for VASP by VENKAT

Mon, 29 Sep 2014 13:56:15 +0000

Dear Sir

I am VENKAT, a learner of VASP,

Actually we are submitting the jobs with a pbs script in queue policy as shown below

#! /bin/bash
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=12
#PBS -N WIR_S
#PBS -q short
#PBS -j oe
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
cat $PBS_NODEFILE > pbsnodes
mkdir /tmp/WIR_S
mkdir /tmp/WIR_S/TEMP
cp * /tmp/WIR_S/TEMP
cd /tmp/WIR_S/TEMP
count=101
mpirun -np 12 -r ssh /soft/murugan/vasp.mkl.band.x > outfile
cp pbsnodes TEMP.pbsnodes
mv OUTCAR WIR_S.outcar
tar -cjvf WIR_S.tar.bz2 *
mv *.* $PBS_O_WORKDIR
cd ..
rm -rf /tmp/WIR_S/

now how can i change/use your script to test the KPOINTS convergence

please help in this case

looking forward for your reply

Thanks in Advance

This doesn’t really have to do with the topic right now, but I must ask if you know where I might find a quality captcha plugin that I could use on my blog?? I’m
employing the same blog platform as you and I’m having trouble getting one?

Comments in namelists can be introduced using “!”.
Comments in “cards” can be introduced by a “#” in the first column.

Comment on 3D Scatter Plot of data read from a file by Mathcad

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 18:20:31 +0000

I personally never used neither Mathematica or Maple yet I did have a go with Mathcad 2001i on a few occasion and my overall experience was good in terms of plotting capabilities.

Altogether if I needed to plot anything I usually just whacked it into spreadsheet and that did it for me; obviously I am not a hardcore plotting guru. I always felt that Mathcad has a better set of capabilities than a normal excel yet this feeling might have just come from the fact that Mathcad has a generally broad grasp on Math rather Excel.

Anyway, this posting is a very interesting reading and it nicely encompasses the advantages as well as shortcomings of Mathematica as well as Mathcad…

Thank you for this article.

You can, actually, specify input file as by default, ISOTROPY reads and processes the iso.ini file (given that it exists).

Comment on Quotes of the day by Bo Sundman

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:55:49 +0000

I understand the comment is ironic. The fact which physicists and chemists have so big difficulty to understand is that materials properties are not controlled by bonding between atoms or molecules, which I agree can be calculated very well by quantum mechanics, but by defacts which can be small like vacancies but also big like grain boundaries or
phase interfaces or even voids. To hindle such large defects one need more than 1E6 atoms and with 10 elements I understand it takes a year or so to calculate the eauilibriul state by quantum mechanics. So I think we will still have to learn phase diagrams
and study microstructures to develop materials
for another 10-20 years

Comment on 3D Scatter Plot of data read from a file by admin

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 08:15:07 +0000

Of course, a much more cheaper and surely effective way to plot can be obtained using the marvellous GNUPlot, in which you can simply write

splot “dataFile1.txt”,”dataFile2.txt”

and that’s all!

For further details and examples, please refer to:
