INCAR

• This is the INCAR file for the basic DFT calculation:

System  = Si

PREC = Normal ; ENCUT = 250.0

ISMEAR = 0 ; SIGMA = 0.01
KPAR = 2

EDIFF = 1.E-8
NBANDS = 16
LOPTICS = .TRUE.  # needed for WAVEDER file
LPEAD = .TRUE.
OMEGAMAX = 40

KPOINTS

The KPOINTS file will be automatically generated in this example.
