system charge

[wilhelm]

Dear all,

A few weeks ago I calculated two structures with different system charges (-1 and +1). Is there any way to see, which calculation uses which charge? I grep'ed through the files with the keyword charge, but it did not give me any reasonable result.

I thought it must be somewhere in the control file.

Regards,

Wilhelm

This may not be the easiest way to do it, but it's a way: if it's a closed shell calculation, look for the 'closed shells' key, if it's an open shell calculation, look for 'alpha shells' and 'beta shells' - in there will be how many electrons have been assigned to each irrep, so you can see which has more.

Thanks, Ian.

That did the trick.

Wilhelm

You also find the charge at the end of output files from Hartree-Fock or DFT calculations.
