could anyone give me a step by step guide to using VASP for DFT calculations. I have tried using vaspwiki and other online resources but they don't give an easy to understand workflow and are sometimes contradictory.

Discrete Fourier Transform? ( Guessing, since not sure what 'VASP' means )?

Thread 'Lennard-Jones potential and interatomic distance'

I've found this image online (ref: https://edurev.in/t/188018/Origin-of-Energy-Bands ), it should be the graphical representation of the potential binding energy between two nearest-neighbor atoms. I don't understand how it can be correlated to the Lennard-Jones pontential graph: , in which we see the r_m (equilibrium distance) which is the most stable distance between the particles, that I assume being what in the previous figure is a. 1) Why in the first figure we see a minimum in the...

Thread 'Is this Lennard Jones potential image wrong on the Wikipedia Italian page?'

I found this image on the wikipedia italian page for the Lennard-Jones potential and I think the derivative displayed are wrong: not only in that reange (below r_eq) the negative derivative of the force should be negative and vice versa, but also the physcal meaning is that F(r) = - \frac{dU(r)}{dr} so I think that this is the derivative that should be displayed.
