[Pw_forum] QHA example

2013-05-01 Thread Elias Albert
Dear Pandey and all,
Thanks for your reply. I have in fact tried to get the Debye temperature using 
the executable Debye.x and my input was:
ag2.phdos0.00013 15 31000 10
However the output was weird as it was full of "NaN". What could be the 
problem? Is it the limits I have inserted?This is a part of the output:
# factor ===  1.# The first   moment of phonon frequencies   :   
 NaN [cm^-1] NaN [THz]# The second  moment of phonon frequencies : 
   NaN [cm^-2] NaN[THz^2]# Debye temperature via the first   moment of

Dear Elias,
First you go into Example directory of QHA. There you find 'Edit_Me' file. Edit 
that file corresponding to your needs.
Then there is another file 'Run_Me' script and run it. You will find your Debye 
tempearture setting in your Edit_Me file.

For QHA, you have to only required IFC file as a input that is *.fc extension 
which is obtained by q2r.x utility.
I hope it will help you.

Dear all,
I am trying to compute some thermodynamic properties on a system I am working 
on as well as the Debye temperature. I have looked at the examples (Al, Si,...) 
in the QHA folder; however I got confused about what the inputs should be for 
both the thermodynamic properties and the Debye temperature computation.

(1) Can anyone please tell me explicitly what the inputs should be? I have 
already done the PHDOS for my system.
(2) what executable should I use for both? is it the fqha.x?

Thank you in advance

[Pw_forum] phonon dispersion with experimental structure

2013-05-01 Thread ding
Dear everyone,
  Does one have to relax the structure before doing phonon calculations?  If I 
calculate the phonon dispersion of a material with the experimental structure 
at different pressures, Can I get get the phonon dispersions without negtive 
frequencies at different pressures ? I know that one has to optimize the 
structure before doing phonon calculation when using the small displacement 
method, but I am not sure if one has to optimize the structure before doing 
phonon calculations when using linear response  theory. I want to calculate  
the electron-phonon interaction properties with the experimental structures at 
different pressures. If I don't optimize the structures, Can I get the phonon 
dispersions without negtive frequencies ?
Thanks in advance!

[Pw_forum] phonon dispersion with experimental structure

2013-05-01 Thread Stefano de Gironcoli
the phonon code calculate the second order derivative of the energy at 
the given configuration.
this can be done even the first order derivatives are non vanishing.
provided the structure is not too far from the minimum the computed 
curvature can still quite close to the
one one could have computed at equilibrium but it is an approximation to it.

[Pw_forum] restarts

2013-05-01 Thread vijaya subramanian
Hi
I recently saw a post about restarts. I am not sure where to find information 
about
restarting a job that did not finish because of time constraints on the machine 
I am using-is there a way
to do that for scf calculations? 
Thanks
Vijaya
