| | In previous years, we used Wien 2k rather than OpenMX to do the class DFT project. This old page is available because some of the FAQ are relevant, and there is some info about XCrysDen and unix that may be useful. |

| Wien 2k is a commercial program that calculates dispersion relations, density of states, partial density of states, and other properties of crystalline solids. The program is named Wien 2k (pronounced "VEEN-2-kay") because it was developed by physicists in Vienna, Austria ("Vienna" is the English version of the German "Wien"), and the most recent modification of the program was in the year 2000. More information about the program is at the developers' website http://www.wien2k.at. | Wien 2k is a commercial program that calculates dispersion relations, density of states, partial density of states, and other properties of crystalline solids.

| - "Bandstructure" requires a different set of k-values than was used to generate the density of states. For DoS, Wien uses a k-mesh stored in ''case.klist''. For the bandstructure program, Wien generates a different k-mesh stored in a file called ''case.klist_band''. Wien has prestored k-paths for fcc, bcc, hcp and cubic lattices, but if you want different paths, or have a lattice of different symmetry, you may need to use the program [[:xcrysden|XCrySDen]] to generate the k-points for this part. | - "Bandstructure" requires a different set of k-values than was used to generate the density of states.

| - If you get a message from Wien2k that ' 'X-windows is needed to run X-CrySDen' ' and it seems XCrySDen is not going to run, you must reset the ' 'w2web' ' as described in [[xcrysden#XCrySDen via the Wien2k interface]]. | - If you get a message from Wien2k that ''X-windows is needed to run X-CrySDen'' and it seems XCrySDen is not going to run, you must reset the ''w2web'' as described in [[xcrysden#XCrySDen via the Wien2k interface]]. |
| - To use XCrySDen to generate a ''case.klist_band'' file: If you have an X-terminal open, XCrySDen should open up if you select ''Generate k-mesh using XCrySDen'' on the Bandstructure menu. You should see the Brillouin zone, with high-symmetry points labeled as dots on the boundary. You can rotate the structure with the mouse. Click on the special points (they appear on the right when you select them and some will be labeled). Click 'OK' when you have the path you want. Then enter total number of k-points along the path. 50 is a good number to start with. Now save the file as ''xcrysden.klist''. Go back into Wien2k and under Task >> Bandstructure, and choose ''from xcrysden'' from the menu. When prompted to overwrite the case.klist_band file, click "yes". | - To use XCrySDen to generate a ''case.klist_band'' file: If you have an X-terminal open, XCrySDen should open up if you select ''Generate k-mesh using XCrySDen'' on the Bandstructure menu.

| - If clicking ''Generate k-mesh using XCrySDen'' does not bring up XCrySDen, log in to the Wien2k server with an X-terminal (see "Access Wien 2k via the web" above). Go into the directory in which you are running your simulation. For example, if you are doing silicon in the WIEN2k/Si/ directory, enter 'cd WIEN2k/Si/'. Next, enter 'xcrysden' in the terminal. Once xcrysden opens, go to File -> Open Wien2k ... -> Select k-path. It will ask you to choose the case directory. It should be the default one you went into in the beginning.

| - After you have run the spaghetti program, Wien may no longer rerun the DoS program because it now has the wrong k-mesh. You should to rerun ''lapw1'' in the ''single prog'' menu. This should fix the problem. (Seems not to be a problem in the current version of Wien). | - After you have run the spaghetti program, Wien may no longer rerun the DoS program because it now has the wrong k-mesh.

| - You must enter the **correct Fermi energy** for the spaghetti plot to be generated. There is a step where you must edit the ''case.insp'' file. The Fermi energy is listed in the file header, and you need to enter this number in the file itself where you see the "xxxx". e.g. You see in header the line | - You must enter the **correct Fermi energy** for the spaghetti plot to be generated.

Cygwin-X and putty work with all versions of Windows. If you want to run XCrySDen with Wien2K, you have to use Cygwin-X. Cygwin-X installation is given in the [[:xcrysden|XCrySDen]] page. Be sure to load the package that has the ssh command. In the program menu, go to Cygwin-X -> Xwin Server. This should open up a "X-Terminal" program.

| If you are just running "w2web" it is recommended that you use Putty. It is simple and quick. If you are in Wngr 304, you will have to install Putty on your own account. It cannot be installed for all users at once. The file putty.exe takes only a few seconds to download. Next run putty.exe and a window labeled "PuTTY Configuration" should appear. In the bar that says "Host Name (or IP address)", enter "ph575_nn@wien-server.physics.oregonstate.edu" Below this bar is an option SSH that is already checked and that is why you do not have to enter it. | If you are just running ''w2web'' it is recommended that you use Putty.
