Dear all,

I use atomic simulation environment (ASE) to perform NEB calculation. I found tricky problems.

The transition state area is not well described. Beads are sparse near the transition state point. A "sharp" transition state emerged. As attached figure shown.

I use the highest point as initial guess for regular TS calculation. But failed.

The NEB calculation is converged.

The NEB optimization part is

====================

neb = NEB(images)

neb.interpolate()

## 4. Optimize:

optimizer = MDMin(neb, trajectory='A2B4.traj',dt=0.15)

=====================

Do you have any suggestions to solve that problems?

Thank you
