How to create a dummy (or "ghost") atom in VASP

#1 Post by xiancai » Thu Oct 10, 2024 12:35 pm

Dear VASP developers,

I am wondering whether VASP can create a dummy (or "ghost") atom, i.e., one without electrons / basis sets. This question has been raised in a previous post (forum/viewtopic.php?t=4186), but has not yet been answered. Thank you for your time!

Sincerely,
Tian Hua

Hi,

There is apparently some empty spheres option, but mostly related to the DOS, as discussed at https://vasp.at/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19412. What would you like to do with empty spheres?
