The ABINIT Users Mailing List ( CLOSED )

[Dev Sharma <champbond1983@gmail.com>]

hi Sir,
If you are totally new, never tried any DFT code, then my suggestion is that firs Insatll the ABINIT (or PWSCF) and then there is a directory TESTS, where you can find many examples with output also.
Have a look on those and the Abinit Name  list input varibales, Try to reproduce the at leaset first 2 tutorials. 
Have u already installed ABINIT ??
with regards

Dear All,
I am experimentalist working with Diamond like carbon (DLC) materials. In order to calculate DOS for the sigma and pi electrons, I have been advised by Dr.Sina Khorasina to use DFT code and accordingly I have downloaded yesterday only,the ABINIT 5.8.4p software package, suppose to working under widows/mac.linux platform.I am not sure whether it is the right kind of code for working!
Never before I run a code. But I want to learn about the calculation of DOS using the code from the scratch. I shall remain grateful if someone agrees to teach me this subject. My ultimate aim is to collaborate on " Estimating the DOS of DLC and comparing the Experimental values"

Looking forward to receive a favourable response.
