[RMCProfile-users] Some questions about using rmcprofile

Hi Weihua,

We may have had some discussion before about your problem. If you don't mind, could you please package your whole RMC folder and email to me so I can have a look. Otherwise, it is a bit challenging to identify the problem.

Anyways, with current RMCProfile implementation, to simulate nano-systems, we have to get rid of the PBC and then correct 1) number density and 2) baseline (https://doi.org/10.1107/S160057671901080X). Therefore, setting the nanobox to '[1 1 1]' is probably anyways improper to go with.

Cheers,
yuanpeng

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [RMCProfile-users] Some questions about using rmcprofile

Hi all,

I apologise in advance if the question has been asked.

When I run rmc, it will prompt the error in the picture below. The system I calculated was CeO2 nanoparticles with a size of 5nm. Because nanobox defaults to [4 4 4], so I get the rmc6f file Cell (Ang/deg): 200.000000 200.000000 200.000000 90.000000 90.000000 90.000000.
Lattice vectors (Ang):
200.000000 0.000000 0.000000
0.000000 200.000000 0.000000
0.000000 0.000000 200.000000

I suspect it has something to do with the size of the model. Because when I set the nanobox to [1 1 1], the upper value is 50 Angstrom, and it can run normally. But this will not eliminate the impact of periodic boundaries. Is this something I missed important?

Thanks,
