[Pw_forum] pbe with norm conserving pp convergence problem

2012-09-10 Thread Jia Chen
O norm-conserving usually need 70Ry, since you have d electrons in
your system, they may require higher cutoff. Some people calculate
lattice constants to justify their choice of cutoff, but It finally
depends on what do you study. Not much more I can say about it...

[Pw_forum] electron phonon coupling in semiconductors

2012-09-10 Thread Paolo Giannozzi

On Sep 7, 2012, at 22:45 , Bo Qiu wrote:

>  why QE cannot do el-ph for semiconductors?

because - as explained too many times - QE calculates the
"electron-phonon coupling coefficient \lambda", something
that exists only in metals. Electon-phonon matrix elements
are also calculated, but if you want to do something else
than calculating \lambda with them, you have to modify the
code

[Pw_forum] pbe with norm conserving pp convergence problem

2012-09-10 Thread Peng Chen
Dear Jia,

I checked those pp and there are not recommended cutoffs. When I use
occupation=fixed, the results are similar as those from occupation=smearing
(reach minimum at 80 Ry) . And the scf doesn't converge when ecutwfc=60 Ry.

Ecutwfc   energy total force
50 -1129.7209 0.7937
60 no  convergence
70 -1136.6081 0.7066

if it is an insulator, why are you using smearing? Apart from this:
with norm-conserving PP, ecutwfc is the only parameter defining
the basis set. You should not set ecutrho.

[Pw_forum] comparison of ph.x and dynmat.x results

2012-09-10 Thread Elie M

Professor de Gironcoli,
First of all. thanks for your suggestion. Concerning moving the atoms along the 
modes, how can this be done? How do we know their directions? Vizualizing them 
in XCrysDen, for example,  would not help I guess because they will be set to 
zero
Thanks in advance.

Elie

remove version.f90, retry. If it is still empty:
edit ../install/update_version, removing
redirections to /dev/null (things like this:
"2> /dev/null > /dev/null").
Set the script to verbose (not sure whether
#!/bin/sh -x will do the job). Run again
../install/update_version, report what
happens, what is in file version.f90.tmp  if any

If no quick solution is found, just copy version.f90.in

go into Modules/, type "make version.f90". It should produce
a file version.f90 from version.f90.in (see Makefile and 
../install/update_version if you want to understand what is

there's a reason: norm-conserving F is very hard. Anyway, if you
follow the links in the pseudopotential page of the quantum espresso
web site, you will find for sure some norm-conserving LDA PP for F.

[Pw_forum] pbe with norm conserving pp convergence problem

2012-09-10 Thread Jia Chen
Dear Peng,

For AFM case, you can set tot_magentization = 0, for FM case, you need
to know tot_magnetization from experiments or previous calculations.
Or you can use the int(absolute magnetization) from you AFM
calculations.

Trying to converge total energy with respect to wave function cutoff
is usually not a good idea. If you just want to choose a good cutoff
energy for calculations, first thing you can do is to look into those
pseudopotentials you are using. If you can find recommended cutoffs,
you probably can just use the highest cutoffs in your system.

[Pw_forum] pbe with norm conserving pp convergence problem

2012-09-10 Thread Peng Chen
Dear Dr.  Giannozzi,

Thanks for your reply. I use smearing for computing the band structure in
afm and fm states. It looks there is still a lot to learn. If I use
occupation=fixed to calculate afm/fm states, shall I just set
tot_magnetization=0 or 1?

If I didn't set ecutrho, the default value of ecutrho is 4*ecutwfc. So the
results are the same as the following, and the energy doesn't
decrease monotonically. I tried to decrease degauss to 0.005 Ry, I got the
similar results. What I can do to make the energy converge?

ecutrho=4*ecutwfc
ecutwfc energytotal force

Thank you so much for your suggestion, removing the /dev/null statements 
produced another error so I copied version.f90.in to version.f90 and it was 
successful.

[Pw_forum] question about pp for Raman calculation

2012-09-10 Thread James Mao
Dr. Giannozzi,

I checked the pslibrary and NNIN vault links. All LDA PP there for F are paw
or 
ultrasoft. It seems there are more LDA PP in abinit website. But they are in
different 
format. Maybe I should try my luck to convert them to PP format in QE.

Hi Adetunji,

 

I did checked the PSLibrary 2.0.5 pp. But all LDA pp there are either us
(ultrasoft) or paw, which 
are not supported by photon Raman code.

Hi dear all, 

 

I am new to qe, as well as computations in solid states. I am trying to
calculate a Raman spectrum 
for a crystal, and have a question: for pp used in a photon calculation,
does the result still make 
sense if the different atoms' pp have different source? Namely, different xc
func (pz, vwn, ..., but 
same xc approx such as LDA), or different psp class (mt, hbs, vbc...). 

 

The reason for asking this question is that it seems photon code can only
calculate Raman for LDA pp, 
and they cannot be relativistic, ultrasoft or paw. So the choice is really
limited. For example, I cannot 
find an available pp for F atom to perform the calculation, and no suitable
pp from same source for C, 
O, N. I think the correct way probably is to learn how to generate pp by
myself, but it might take a while 
to learn and I would like to set up the calculation first. I have used
pz-vbc for C and pz-mt for O, but 
cannot find any available LDA pp for F which is not ultrasoft and paw. 

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

the system reaches the convergence at ecutwfc=80 Ry.
