Read Images:
(0: All images are needed in images file)
(1: Only first and final images are needed and will be read in 'Images' file)
(2: The first, final and any intermediate Images are read and any images will be read in 'Image' file)
(Automatic interpolation will be applied to generate the initial images in 1 and 2)

Relax Type:

NEB Options

VarPathLength:

(when the length between two neighbour images is larger than 1.5 times this value
a new images will be added between the two images using linear interpolation)
(when lesser than 0.5 times the value images wil be removed)
(DEFAULT: average path length between the two images)

Minimum spring constant:
(Minimum spring constant , only used in Variable-Spring Constant VCNEB)

Maximum spring constant:
(Maximum spring constant , only used in Variable-Spring Constant VCNEB)

Spring Constant:
(Only used in fixed spring constant VCNEB)

Freezing:

provided transistion state (TS) will be used for CI)

Constraints





* The default value is taken as 0.6 * approximate bond length, according to the reference covalent radii.
However, there are some exceptions:
1) If the pseudo potential is used, you must make sure that the value exceeds the summation of the core radius.
2) if you know that some elements prefer to be very far apart, you can specify this information.
For instance, Mg-Mg distance in MgSiO3 can be set much larger (e.g., 2 Å).
Beware, however, that the larger these minimum distances, the more difficult it is to find structures
fulfilling these constraints (especially for large systems), so a compromise must be found in each case.
