[Pw_forum] symmetry operation not allowed

2012-05-18 Thread karan deep
i am trying to relax monoclinic lattice (space group no. 14) with 20 atoms
in unit cell.
pwscf is not detecting symmetry with warning

 warning: symmetry operation #  2 not allowed.   fractional translation:
   0.4988459  0.473 -0.500  in crystal coordinates
after some search i come to now

i have to specify nr1 nr2 nr3 manually  to achive
abs (ft1 - nint (ft1) ) / nr1 < 1.0d-5  for all three translations.

but i am getting very high values(1) of nr1 and nr3  to achieve this
but nr2=100,110 works well
but high values of nr1, nr3 are not spotted.how can i get rid of this error.


Secondly my system has four symmetry operations E, C2 , i, Sh
while system is only detecting E
no warnings for i, Sh are given

any help will be greatly appreciated

[Pw_forum] Surface Band structure calculation

2012-05-18 Thread Victor Meng'wa
Dear QE users,
i've done bands calculation,when i check my output on every kpoint there's
this message after computation,
that implies a significant number of eigenvalues in the c_bands  have not
converged.
 Computing kpt #: 9
 c_bands:  4 eigenvalues not converged
 total cpu time spent up to now is 6412.1 secs

 Computing kpt #:10
 c_bands:  4 eigenvalues not converged
 total cpu time spent up to now is 7113.1 secs
this is almost repetitive almost for every kpoint
when i do the plotband.x ,i can't  get the bands since theres an error
message

Reading  72 bands at73 k-points
Error reading k-point #1
then it stops.
part of my input looks like:
&CONTROL

[Pw_forum] Fwd: Re: A long relaxation

2012-05-18 Thread Pedro Augusto F. P. Moreira
   Thanks, Guido.

Are atoms moving considerably, meanwhile?


Yes, they are.

do you really need so large ecutrho and small mixing_beta?


There is no necessity about a large ecutrho. Which value do you think is 
more suitable?

For mixing_beta, I tried the default value, but the program always 
stopped with some error, which I do not remember anymore. Then, I 
followed the suggestion of FAQs to try a value between 0.1 and 0.3..

Dear Pedro,

if the energy is decreasing you are not trapped in a local minimum (not
yet, at least: maybe you are approaching it).

  From the extract you sent us, forces are rather increasing than
oscillating, and if the energy is instead decreasing that suggests me
that your system started close to some saddle point or energy maximum,
then after some relaxation steps it found some stronger energy gradient
and started following it.
Are atoms moving considerably, meanwhile?

PS do you really need so large ecutrho and small mixing_beta?

Best,
Guido

[Pw_forum] Change in the behavior of "Reply"

2012-05-18 Thread Paolo Giannozzi
Please note that the behavior of this mailing list with 
respect to the "Reply" command has been reverted to the 
previous "Reply-to munging" option, that is: if you hit 
"Reply", the message will go to the mailing list, not to 
the poster. So please THINK before hitting "Reply" (think
EVEN MORE before hitting "Send"), avoid unnecessary or
inappropriate traffic in this mailing list.

Here is a reminder of the guidelines for posting:

Before posting, please: browse or search the archives ? links are
available in the Contacts page of the quantum ESPRESSO web site.
Most questions are asked over and over again. Also: make an attempt to
search the available documentation, notably the FAQ, the User Guide, 
and the Input Data Description. The answer to most questions is already
there.
  * Sign your post with your name and affiliation.
  * Choose a meaningful subject. Do not use ?Reply? to start a new
thread: it will confuse the ordering of messages into threads
that most mailers can do. In particular, NEVER use ?Reply? to a
Digest!!!
  * Be short: no need to send 128 copies of the same error message
just because this is what came out of your 128-processor run. No
need to send the entire compilation log for a single error
appearing at the end.
  * Avoid excessive or irrelevant quoting of previous messages. Your
message must be immediately visible and easily readable, not
hidden into a sea of quoted text.
  * Remember that even experts cannot guess where a problem lies in
the absence of sufficient information. One piece of information
that must always be provided is the version number you are
using.
  * Remember that the mailing list is a voluntary endeavour: nobody
is entitled to an answer, even less to an immediate answer.
Please check in the archive if your e-mails have gone through
before thinking or even worse complaining that nobody is
answering my questions.
  * Finally, please note that the mailing list is not a replacement
for your own work, nor is it a replacement for your thesis
director?s work.

Reporting BUGS

  * Problems should be reported to the pw_forum mailing list, NOT to
a single developer
  * Before reporting an unexpected behavior as a problem, 
  * check your input data: most problems originate from
there
  * if you have a problem with examples, look for the error
message printed by the code in the output file: few
things irritate developers  like messages saying "I got
error 137 in example 24", or "What does error # 1924
mean?"
  * carefully read the error message issued by the code, if
present: sometimes it explains everything. For the
provided examples, you must look inside the output
files.
  * trust the code if it says "this doesn?t exist" or "this
is wrong"!
  * check if a similar or same problem hasn?t already been
reported
  * Before deciding that a problem is due to a bug in the codes,
verify if it is reproducible on different
machines/architectures/phases of the moon: erratic or
irreproducible problems, especially in parallel execution, are
often an indication of buggy compilers or libraries
  * Bug reports should preferably be filed using the bug tracking
facility of qe-forge.org:
http://qe-forge.org/tracker/?group_id=10
  * Bug reports should include enough information to be reproduced,
e.g. version number (mandatory!), hardware/software
combination(s) for which the problem arises, whether it happens
in serial or parallel execution or both, and, most important, an
input and output exhibiting such behavior (fast to execute if
possible). The error message alone is usually not a sufficient
piece of information. Segmentation violation or obscure MPI
error messages are NEVER a sufficient piece of information.

Dear Huazhong Liu
Flicking through some literature...? Excess electrons in TiO2 (bulk, surface,

are one of the most investigated issues in theoretical (and experimental) 
condensed matter, physical 
chemistry, surface chemistry, environmental science, ..., papers.
I avoid to cite papers of mine (noblesse oblige), but you can find many papers

[Pw_forum] Determining Bandgap with DOS

2012-05-18 Thread Giuseppe Mattioli

Dear Izaak
Wurtzite ZnO is a very (VERY) nasty semiconductor... I find a PBE band gap of 
0.8 eV, in agreement 
with previous investigations. Hybrid functionals, as HSE with alpha=0.25, do 
not heal the whole of 
it; you find something around 2.2 eV (If you are interested, I can cite several 
papers). This is due 
to the very narrow Zn 3d band which is very strongly affected by delocalisation 
(aka self-
interaction) errors. The conduction band minimum (CBM) appears as a tiny 
feature (the 0.5 eV one, I 
suppose) in your DOS because the CB is sharply peaked around Gamma, so that 
even if your calculation 
is well converged wrt energy, forces, stress, ..., you do not achieve a good 
sampling around the 
CBM. How can you cure it? It depends on your final purpose, which I suppose is 
not the band structure 
of a 4-atoms cell... You mat write directly to me if you are going to look for 
further advice.

[Pw_forum] Help: About spin-polarization

2012-05-18 Thread Huazhong Liu
Dear all,
 I have got a problem of spin-polarization calculation. I put one H atom 
onto the stoichiometric TiO2 surface. I think that is must have magnetic 
properties after I optimized the adsorption system. But I didn't find the 
magnetism in the system after the calculation. Here are the parameters which 
set for spin-polarization calculation:
...
 /
 &system
ibrav=..
nat=49  , ntyp=3,
nspin=2,
starting_magnetization(1)= 0.5
starting_magnetization(2)= 0.5
starting_magnetization(3)= 0.5
ecutwfc=30.0,
ecutrho=300.0,
occupations='smearing', smearing='gauss', degauss=0.02,
 /
ATOMIC_SPECIES
 Ti   47.867   Ti.pbe-sp-van_ak.UPF
 O15.9994  O.pbe-van_ak.UPF
 H1.00794  H.pbe-van_ak.UPF
...


I got the result as below:
  The total energy is the sum of the following terms:


 one-electron contribution =  -12795.07240972 Ry
 hartree contribution  =6472.21004247 Ry
 xc contribution   =-456.66736582 Ry
 ewald contribution=3879.97911645 Ry
 smearing contrib. (-TS)   =  -0.01329486 Ry


 total magnetization   = 0.00 Bohr mag/cell
 absolute magnetization= 0.00 Bohr mag/cell

 convergence has been achieved in  10 iterations
..


Will you please find any problem in my parameters? Why I can not get the 
magnetism of the system?  Thank you!


regards,

[Pw_forum] Determining Bandgap with DOS

2012-05-18 Thread Guido Fratesi
Dear Izaak,

a few preliminary questions you might find helpful answering before 
going on:

- have you used a sufficient number of k points?

- have you used a sufficiently dense energy grid in the plot?

- how is it possible that the curve "without smearing" is more smeared 
than the one "with smearing"? Check what default values are.

- why do you indicate by arrows not the state found in the DOS, but the 
energy point at which your gaussian (of arbitrary width indeed) looks 
different from zero?

- why not looking at eigenvalues printed by pw.x on output to get the 
real (computed) numbers? (Yet the DOS plot is helpful to get an overview)

Hope this helps.
Guido

2012-05-18 Thread Nichols A. Romero
You may also want to take a look at assembla.com to see if the pricing
is cheaper. I use it for another project, but it has much fewer
developers.

Lastly, googlecode is free.

Dear Giovanni, if I am not wrong github is for git version management. Most
of the projects on qe-forge use svn or cvs. When we decide to move from cvs
to svn we also have considered the possibility of moving to git. However,
as we say in italianish "we know our chickens", and the "unlimited" freedom
that gives git could have introduced many coordination issues in the
quantum ESPRESSO global management.

thank you for your suggestion

[Pw_forum] Quantum ESPRESSO Highlights 2011, thank s to all contributors

2012-05-18 Thread Layla Martin-Samos
Dear all, as you have probably noticed in our new HOME page we have
introduced 4 immages that correspond to the "call for immages and quantum
ESPRESSO highlights 2011" that we sent to pw_forum some months ago. We
would like to thank all the participants for their kind contribution. At
the end of the year we will renew the call for Quantum ESPRESSO highlights
2012!

good work and "May the GIMP be with you" ;-)

[Pw_forum] Change in the number of qe-forge users

2012-05-18 Thread Layla Martin-Samos
Dear all, we are thinking in moving qe-forge from fusionforge to gforge.
Unfortunately it seems that gforge ask for a commercial License which
pro-year prince will depends on the number of users. As all of you know,
nor Quantum ESPRESSO nor qe-forge have any direct financial support, so we
can not afford big expenses. In order to reduce potential costs of the
gforge commercial License, our system administrator has eliminated all the
qe-forge users that are not bound to any qe-forge project. Depending on the
License price then or we move to gforge or we stay with fusionforge. In any
case we will let you know in order to rationalize the qe-forge users.

Sorry for the inconvenience, best regards

Layla

[Pw_forum] [Q-e-developers] Change in the number of qe-forge users

2012-05-18 Thread Filippo Spiga
Dear Layla,

why moving from fusionforge to gforge? What about Trac 
(http://trac.edgewall.org/)? I mean, the point is? what exactly gforge has that 
we do need? And what if we will not use some of those advanced and fancy 
features that gforge will provide?

You mention a "pro-year price" that depends by the number of users. Just for 
curiosity, can you tell us with the current number of users how much is this 
license?

Filippo

[Pw_forum] Help: About spin-polarization

2012-05-18 Thread Jia Chen
Hi Huazhong,

Only problem I can spot is that the smearing is a little bit too large.
Room temperature is only 23meV, degauss = 0.002Ry would be more reasonable.
I guess the situation is that the single electron should be a d state of
Ti, but PBE functional makes it a delocalized state and the system becomes
metallic, then big smearing completely eliminates magnetization... Just my
guess...
