local pseudopotentials, i.e. no nonlocal part. Lmax = 0 means
s local part

Dear Caloma,
I'm pasting an extract from Doc/INPUT_PW.txt:

Variable:   disk_io

Type:   CHARACTER
Default:'default'
Description:Specifies the amount of disk I/O activity
'high':save all data at each SCF step

'default': save wavefunctions at each SCF step unless
   there is a single k-point per process

'low' :store wfc in memory, save only at the end

'none':do not save wfc, not even at the end

If restarting from an interrupted calculation, the code
will try to figure out what is available on disk. The
more you write, the more complete the restart will be.

"wfc" stands for wavefunctions
best regards

[Pw_forum] Not getting right Band structure

2009-07-29 Thread Stefano de Gironcoli
Dear Neel Singh,

   your input specifies ibrav=1 (that is Simple Cubic): only the value of a is
taken in consideration while b and c are discarded. If you want an orthorombic
structure the proper ibrav is another one. (ibrav=6 if I remember  
correctly, but please check).
   have you tried to visualize your structure by xcrysdens to check it is ok?
   is the system magnetic ? if so you need to specify some starting  
magnetization.

I also runned the 1 1 1 kpoints here, still the same problem.

Can you tell me which type of Pseudopotential you were using?

I use all PBE pseudo

[Pw_forum] Pseudopotentials with negative "Max angular momentum component"?

2009-07-29 Thread J. J. Ramsey
I noticed that some of the pseudopotentials on the QE website (e.g. 
http://www.quantum-espresso.org/pseudo/1.3/UPF/H.pz-vbc.UPF, 
http://www.quantum-espresso.org/pseudo/1.3/UPF/H.tpss-mt.UPF) have "-1" as the 
value of the max. angular momentum component in the PP_HEADER section. It's 
unclear from the page on the UPF format 
(http://www.quantum-espresso.org/wiki/index.php/Unified_pseudopotential_format) 
what this is supposed to mean. What is that negative value supposed to indicate?

This is not necessarily, some specific choice of functional tend to  
underestimate the gap, but it is not a theorem.

I cannot understand what your problem is exactly; I could be more helpful  
if you provided a complete output file, as I don't have the time nor the  
resources to reproduce your calculations.

it is not that simple to provide the answer you keep requiring.
Your job is not small and running it requires a nonnegligible
amount of computer and human time. You didn't specify the
conditions under which you observe this problem: which version
of the code, hoe compiled, how executed, and most inmportant:
if it is reproducible on other machines or with another compiler;
if it is triggered by some specific option(s) or execution mode.
With the right piece of information, problems can be localized
and fixed in less then no time. Without, it is not fun to invest
hours just to discover that the problem is irreproducibile (i.e.
nonexistent for scientists)

The  are just a problem with the fortran format, it means that the  
forces are too large and won't fit in their respective fields.

>  Total force =  NAN Total SCF correction = 0.000703

I'm more concerned about the NAN as total force, there may be several  
explanations for this (bug in QE, bugs in libraries)
The only advice I can give you at the moment is to increase the number of  
bands: you are using 280 bands for 508 electrons, which means you only  
have ~10% more bands than the bare minimum to fit all the electrons. This  
may not be enough to insure band occupations become negligible before the  
code runs out of bands (your smearing is 10mRy).
Also, you've not defined Hubbard_U for types 1 and 2, although I'm quite  
sure the code sets them automatically to zero.

Since only unf_recl=DIRECT_IO_FACTOR*recl is overflowing
(8*355119210 = 2840953680 > 2147483648 =2**31) you may
