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 )?
 
From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
