[Pw_forum] Error:too many bands are not converged

2009-03-17 Thread idoldog
Dear PWSCF users,

I have done some structure optimization calculations using ecutwfc=25, 
ecutrho=200 and mixing_ndim = 16 successfully. But when I increase the 
parameters ecutwfc=30 and ecut=240 and mixing_ndim=8, I got a lot of "c_bands:  
10 eigenvalues not converged" warnings, even "too many bands are not converged" 
errors. 

I searched the old pw_forum articles and find little things about this.

so I want to know the change of which parameters lead to this problem? 

hoping your kindly reply.

all best

> Dear Prithwish,

during next week, I will add to the pseudopotential library
(http://www.pwscf.org/pseudo.htm) the Ce pseudopotential we used to
study cerium-oxide. As you know, in general, compounds based on rare
earths may display quite intriguing properties and our pseudo has not
been tested for systems other than cerias. You can refer to me if you
have specific questions, I will be happy to contribute as far as I
can.

Yours sincerely,
   Stefano 

Dear all,
Quite a long time ago, the above message was posted regarding
Ce pseudopotential.
Is anyone of you having  an  LDA version of the
Ce pseudo which takes f-electron in account?
Looking forward to your kind reply.

[Pw_forum] ussp files

2009-03-17 Thread Giuseppe Mattioli
Dear Artee.
First, please provide always your affiliation.

If you need some USPP, try to generate and test it! It is not so difficult and 
you can learn so much about your working tools.
I'm keen (!) on Vanderbilt USPP generation code... You can find it at 
 http://www.physics.rutgers.edu/~dhv/uspp/
Of course, you can also try the analogous QE tool (look at your QE/atomic_doc/ 
directory). You can use the headers of some available PBE or PW91 pseudo to 
generate your own LDA one.

Yours

Giuseppe

[Pw_forum] new unit-cell volume in variable cell relaxation

2009-03-17 Thread Eduardo Ariel Menendez Proupin
Hi,
When doing variable cell relaxation it is useful to have the current volume
of the variable cell. This is reported in the output when
cell_dynamics='damp-w', e.g. in a line as the following
 new unit-cell volume =   3705.0385 (a.u.)^3

However, when cell_dynamics='bfgs' the cell volume is not reported (pw.x of
version 4.0.4 ).

I see in the text that bfgs is still experimental. If interesting for
debuging the code, I can supply an input  case where the relaxation fails .
In this case, in the 3rd bfgs step,

   WARNING: integrated charge=   140.52433035, expected=   288.

 %%
 from electrons : error # 1
 charge is wrong

I suspect the bgfs made drastic change and the electronic calculation went
crazy. With damped dynamics it works smoothly.

Best regards

In the meantime I think you can still use the old, dear frozen phonon method...

Forces and stress should work as well.
