first of all: it says "gaussian broadening needed". Error message may  
not be optimally
clear, but they are not misspelled, usually.

pp.x reads the data file produced by the second pw.x run, which  
overwrites the contents
of the data file written in the first pw.x run. So pp.x sees  
tetrahedra and tetrahedra are
not implemented for the calculation of local dos. The value of the  
gaussian broadening
taken in input by dos.x is used by dos.x and cannot propagate to  
other codes (dos.x
does not change the data file produced by pw.x). By the way: it  
doesn't make sense to
perform calculations with tetrahedra (useful for DOS) and throw the  
results away by
using gaussian broadening for DOS

[Pw_forum] Spectra from GW and TDDFPT

2011-04-13 Thread jiayudai
Thanks for your recommendation and reply, mohsen and Giuseppe. So, Giuseppe,  i 
understand what 's your meaning is
 that the GWW and  TDDFPT in QE distribution (4.3)  can be used for different 
purposes, but they are both accurate in their fields. In addition, they both 
have the advantage of efficient computation speed becuase they used different 
method from the tranditional methods. Is it?

Thanks again.

And, practically speaking, you can obtain corrected (i.e., quasiparticle)
eigenvalues by using GWW, and absorption spectra by using turbo_lanczos, that
is, the GW and TDDFPT current implementations that you find embedded into the
QE (4.3) distribution. Within the above limitations, the computational cost
of both methods can be considered rather low.

[Pw_forum] npool in nscf calculation

2011-04-13 Thread shu xu
Hi,

How should I set up npool for nscf?
Shall I use an integer which is divided exactly by the number of K_POINTS in
scf or an integer
which is divided exactly by the number of k points along the k-path I choose
for the band structure?

[Pw_forum] Spectra from GW and TDDFPT

2011-04-13 Thread Giuseppe Mattioli
Dear Jiayu
Yes, it is. With only one additional warning: the TDDFPT code works only at 
Gamma (and fixed occupations). It is not designed to deal with periodic 
systems where you need k-points, but (in my experience) it works well with 
molecules.

[Pw_forum] Spectra from GW and TDDFPT

2011-04-13 Thread jiayudai

Dear users,

It is well known that GW method can give much more accurate band gap since it 
considers many body interaction, and thus it can give more accurate optical 
properties. What i am thinking is that what's the difference between the 
optical properties from TDDFPT and GW. I mean, TDDFPT has the same accuracy as 
the GW method? or what's the advantage of TDDFPT over the GW except the 
computationl cost?

Thanks a lot.

Jiayu

[Pw_forum] total energy

2011-04-13 Thread Stefano de Gironcoli
I don't think you'll need so many digits...
anyhow if you add a few digits in the output and you tighten the 
conv_thr to less than 1.d-10
the numbers you'll get should be self-consistent at that level...
however, it would be extremely difficult to converge k-point sampling 
and/or cutoff at that accuracy.
not to mention the uncertain error due to the choice of xc.

Agreed. One could (maybe) write a macro for this but it would be way
too specialized. Just removing the over-ride should enable the user to
specify it; most cluster sysadmins should have this posted or one can

N.B., I would test myself, but at least on the cluster where I have

set as C not Fortran. This might be a bug in the autoconf I have there
or real -- getting the language set right is a pain and I've had

[Pw_forum] Spectra from GW and TDDFPT

2011-04-13 Thread mohsen modaresi
Dear Jiayu Dai,
Prof. R. Godby is one of the most famous scientist who worked on many-body
theory. i think this lecture should be help full for you.
{Many-Body Theory and DFT / TDDFT
Rex Godby"
http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v=cache:gBMHk9QaO3cJ:www.tddft.org/TDDFT2006/2006tddft/docs/school/Godby.pdf+TDDFT+and+GW=en=bl=ADGEESiq9Au0dGZsFvyPUtLL9nEaPg44xzN8NzkJiiguvyAdyTFUpucP8XOKWMyrKammwPLMDfQZncmtgoh8NA-PFsRKaUxsRnrdbFId7a7dW2mkkOHqrr4TFgpalZC775KF1njtbF4p=AHIEtbTLv5XgSx5m0wfXO3sMV7vzJlgOtg=1

Hope it helps,
