Operands<br />

None<br />

CHGC<br />

The programs checks that the unit cell is neutral and will stop if it is not. Including the directive CHGC<br />

forces the program to continue with a non-neutral cell. DMAs generated by SCF programs often have a<br />

small residual charge, so this directive should be included and is set by <strong>NEIGHCRYS</strong>.<br />

CLUS<br />

Operands<br />

None<br />

This directive tells <strong>DMACRYS</strong> to switch off the Ewald sum and carry out charge-charge and charge-dipole<br />

interactions by direct summation. This can be used to work out the energy of a cluster by using a cell with<br />

artificially large lattice vectors.<br />

ZVAL<br />

Operand type<br />

I<br />

Operand name<br />

ZVAL<br />

ZVAL is the user-defined number of formula units per cell, used to calculate energies in kilojoules per mole.<br />

If ZVAL is not supplied, <strong>DMACRYS</strong> will try to read it from the fort.20 file.<br />

EXTN<br />

Operand type<br />

F<br />

Operand name<br />

EXTH<br />

This directive is used in conjunction with the Williams potential. If <strong>NEIGHCRYS</strong> uses the Williams<br />

potential, EXTN 0.1 will be written<br />

The Williams potential uses artificially shortened hydrogen bond lengths by moving the positions of the<br />

hydrogen atoms. This is to take some account of the effect of thermal motion in the crystal. If <strong>NEIGHCRYS</strong><br />

is used to set up the dmain file, the hydrogen atoms can be foreshortened by using the appropriate option in<br />

the <strong>NEIGHCRYS</strong> input. <strong>NEIGHCRYS</strong> always foreshortens the H atom positions by 0.1 Angstroms. The<br />

directive EXTN instructs <strong>DMACRYS</strong> to extend the hydrogen bond lengths by an amount EXTH Angstroms.<br />

This will be done before the final fdat and res files are written to units 15 and 16 respectively so that the job<br />

may be restarted to carry out a symmetry reduction or properties calculation without cumulative reductions<br />

in the H bond length taking place. EXTH should be set to 0.1 for datasets written by <strong>NEIGHCRYS</strong> but may<br />

need to be set to other values if the foreshortening is not 0.1.<br />

3.2.4 CUTOFFS<br />

CUTO<br />

Operand types F F <br />

Operand names RLSCAL CUTPOT ACCTH CUTTH<br />

CUTOFFS<br />

The repulsion-dispersion interactions which are calculated in <strong>DMACRYS</strong> are controlled by two cutoffs,<br />

CUTPOT and RDMA.<br />

RLSCAL gives the lattice constant c in Å. (See LATT and BASI directives and the examples following).<br />

Certain quantities are input in units of RLSCAL, referred to as lattice units.<br />

CUTPOT gives the repulsion-dispersion potential cutoff in lattice units. CUTPOT should not be equal to an<br />

interatomic distance in the crystal. This is because the test in the perfect lattice calculation may find one<br />

bond but leave out a symmetry related bond, giving perfect lattice tensor properties of the wrong symmetry.<br />

Usually it is safe just to ensure that CUTPOT does not equal an integral number of lattice vectors. (i.e. that<br />

CUTPOT is not an integer). <strong>NEIGHCRYS</strong> will set a default value of 15 Å.<br />
