History / Calculating Band Structure in VASP

Revisions

  • docs: reorganise Home around a BMD-first learning pathway - Home: replace the historical Tutorial 1-20 list with sections: Start here (Using BMD Compute, Workflows, INCARs, Advanced Options; BMD Agent and VASP fundamentals as optional background); Next steps (Tutorials 1-11 kept numbered with English/Hebrew links, grouped as Linux / Remote computing and POWER / Python and pymatgen, plus running and extending calculations yourself); Research methods and specialist tools by topic (SQS; USPEX incl. Hebrew page, XtalOpt; high-throughput, Materials Project); Research practice. States that sections are suggestions, not prerequisites. - Former Tutorials 12-20: replace obsolete "Tutorial N" navigation lines with page-name or return-to-Home links (including the stale USPEX "Tutorial 8" and High-throughput "tutorial 9/14" references). No page renames, URL changes or scientific content changes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01DHgs1a4r3pZ6JVJ5dXQvoR

  • docs: add BMD Compute INCAR teaching pages and fix Agent CLI - VASP: rework into a fundamentals page (inputs, SCF/ionic loops, ENCUT, k-points, smearing, EDIFF/EDIFFG, relaxation, restarts, parallelisation); FCC-Si example kept and labelled as teaching. - BMD-Compute-INCARs (new): the four supplied BMD Compute Si reference INCARs reproduced exactly, with settings grouped by role and Relax->Static, PBE->HSE06 and HSE06 DOS->Band comparisons. - BMD-Compute-Advanced-Options (new): concept pages for spin, DFT+U, dispersion, Gamma-only and ions-only; reference deltas pending; SOC marked under validation. - BMD-Agent: correct bmd-agent / JOB_ID / PATH semantics, document --verbose, keep expert subcommands secondary; adopt agreed authority wording. - Manual HSE band-structure and USPEX pages: keep as teaching/manual workflows and link to the reference page; Home links new pages. POTCAR path unchanged pending verification. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01DHgs1a4r3pZ6JVJ5dXQvoR

  • docs: separate teaching examples from BMD Compute policy - VASP: label FCC-Si INCAR as a teaching example, not BMD Compute production policy; fix Unicode minus in EDIFF; drop EDIFFG line that has no effect with NSW = 0. - HSE06 band structure: mark the workflow and INCAR settings as an educational/manual example; BMD Compute takes precedence. - USPEX: relabel "BMD's Recommended INCAR Files" as workflow examples. - BMD Agent: make bmd-agent, bmd-agent JOB_ID and bmd-agent PATH the primary interface, with expert subcommands under Advanced usage; BMD Compute owns calculation methodology, BMDex supplies curated supporting evidence and tools. POTCAR path intentionally unchanged pending verification on POWER. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01DHgs1a4r3pZ6JVJ5dXQvoR
