[Pw_forum] Reg: Meas square displacement

2014-07-30 Thread vijaykumar gudelli
Dear PW-scf members,

I would like to know how to calculate the mean square displacement of the
total system. I ran the QHA, for the given example of AlAs. It is showing
only one atom (individual Al and As displacements) mean square displacement
(same is mentioned in the document).
Is there any possibility to get the complete mean square displacement of
the whole system example AlAs.

Thanks in advance.

Respected Dr. Lorenzo Paulatto,

Thank you for Quick reply..May be it is basic and crude to ask like
this.can you please explain me the *"**displacement pattern of the
atoms"* in pwscf output.. I am not clear..Otherwise please give me
some path for understand the output..

Thanks in advance

[Pw_forum] Regarding LA_TA modes

2014-07-30 Thread Kondaiah Samudrala
Dear all,

I'm wondering if anybody knows how to identified LA-TA modes along
high symmetry directions. I have 8 atoms system , which gives 24 modes
at Gamma point. On the other hand, at X-direction it shows 12
modes(each mode is degenerate). So how can I identified LA and TA
modes. I am sure that all transverse modes are degenerate.. That means
no LA mode along this direction Below, I copy the first 4 modes
along X-Direction

I am very happy to know the  Gruneisen parameter spectrum  along High
symmetry directions by QE. I haven't seen any example file or document
about above mentioned
quantities.

Hope Pssitive reply from experts

They are not written on output, but they are at the end of the dynamical 
matrix file. I

For every phonon band at this q point you have the energy (frequency) of 
the mode than the displacement. The displacement is a 3-component 
(x,y,z) complex vector for each atom., i.e. three complex numbers that 
describe the displacement of each atom along x, y and z.


Here is an example from some random file I had on my PC, this system 
includes 2 atoms:

[...]
  Diagonalizing the dynamical matrix

  q = (0.0   0.5   0.0 )

You can see that bands 1, 2, 3 and 4 are transverse, band 5 and 6 are 
longitudinal.

[Pw_forum] About the output of tddft

2014-07-30 Thread shuai
Dear all,

I followed the hands-on tutorial 
(http://media.quantum-espresso.org/santa_barbara_2009_07/slides-exercices/Tddfpt_tutorial.pdf)
 
to calculate the Na2 spectrum by TDDFT. Both of this tutorial and the 
CPC paper (the last sentence in the last but two paragraph in the 7th 
page) mentioned "the absorption coefficient can be found in the lines 
starting with */alpha/*" in the output file "/prefix/.plot".
But in my calculated output file "na2.plot", I didn't find any line 
starting with /*alpha*/. My QE version is 5.1. I post my input file here.

for turbo_lanczos.x

  _input
 restart=.false.
 restart_step=500
 prefix='na2'
 outdir='/'
  /
  _control
 itermax=1000
 ipol=4
  /

for turbo_spectrum.x

  _input
 prefix = 'na2'
 outdir = '/'
 itermax = 1000
 itermax0 = 1000
 extrapolation = 'no'
 omegmax = 5
 delta_omeg = 0.001d0
 omeg = 0.d0
 ipol = 4
 epsil = 0.002d0
  /

Many thanks.

Best regards,

Yusen

If the displacement pattern of the atoms and the q-point are parallel, 
the mode is longitudinal; if they are orthogonal the mode is transverse. 
When a special q point has a symmetry equivalent copy that is orthogonal 
to itself, TA and LA will be degenerate, I'm not sure this is the only 
case when this can happen.

[Pw_forum] error in optic properties

2014-07-30 Thread Mutlu COLAKOGULLARI
Hello,
Sometimes ago I had a problem something like this...I unphysically played with 
the numbers in input file to find source of problem but nothing happened to 
make me happy...I decided to observe the RAM status in graphic...the cache RAM 
size was linearly(or dramatically) increasing while number of nkpt was 
increasing...disk_io='low' is the default value that is to make faster 
read/write speed...it means RAM is big brother...I changed input/output status 
low to high (disk_io='high' in the " / "section of input), then 
pw.x_nscf has been finished succesfully for desired numbers of nkpt. In my case 
it works...I am not sure that can it solve or exactly related with your 
problem?!...please just try.
Hope That Helps,
Mutlu.

2014-07-30 Thread Paolo Giannozzi
If I remember correctly, the first test is performed for the
semilocal form of the pseudopotential, and thus yields by 
construction the same eigenvalues; the second, with the 
separable (Kleinman-Bylander) form, which may sometimes
badly fail

[Pw_forum] error in optic properties

2014-07-30 Thread ashkan shekaari
dear fataneh

you are out of RAM .

for this reason :

1- kinetic-energy cutoff (ecutwfc) is of large value , i suggest 60 0r 70 Ry

2- charge density cutoff (ecutrho) is of large value , i suggest 170 or 200 Ry

[Pw_forum] error in optic properties

2014-07-30 Thread Lorenzo Paulatto
Honestly I don't see how this could affect the calculation.

wf_collect affects the way wavefunctions are stored on disk, it has to 
be used if you plan to run some post-processing tools with a different 
number of cpus than the self-consistent calculation. In this case 
Fataneh could run epsilon.x so wf_collect won't help him.

The problem was a larger nscf calculation, with more k-points, stopping 
after 19 thousands k-points had already been computed. It cannot be a 
problem with restart files.

So please, do not give random advice about problems you do not 
understand. I see that you mean no harm but you are not helping either, 
and you may prevent Fataneh from solving his problem by sending him down 
dead ends.

The code stopped after 7 hours, 57 minutes and 5 seconds; we do not know 
the reason but it was NOT the cutoff and NOT wf_collect.

kind regards

Dear Uri,


you could go to the quantum-espresso website and download.

We also try to keep here a go-to list of default pseudopotentials

Please don't: it is not necessary in this case and will slow the 
calculation down and use more memory.

And please stop giving random advice, I understand your good willingness 
but performing a DFT calculation is not like photo retouching, where you 
just tweak random parameters until it looks good.

2014-07-30 Thread Lorenzo Paulatto
It's hard to say because any error message that could have been present 
in the output was not included in nscf.out.

My bet is that you just run out of time, the last k-point that you 
compute arrives at 28624.6 secs, which is almost exactly 8 hours.

kind regards

I'm curious where did you get these numbers from?

Using less than 4 times the cutoff of kinetic energy for charge density 
is not something that should be done without careful testing.

[Pw_forum] SaX distribution

Hi, yes you can! it works however only for closed shell materials, ie,
occupations=2.0 for occuped states and 0.0 for unoccupied states. It is
worth to say that is not that "user friendly" as pw.x.

cheers

[Pw_forum] Visualize STM image with XCrySDen

2014-07-30 Thread Li, Run
Dear all,

I run into some problem trying to visualize the STM image with Xcrysden. I 
followed the hands-on tutorial 
(http://www.fisica.uniud.it/~giannozz/QE-Tutorial/tutorial_postproc.pdf), used 
pp.x to generate STM. However, I couldn't visualize the generated output 
AlAs110-1.0.xsf as the tutorial indicates. I can only see the actual atoms, but 
not the STM image. Is there anything I should do? My research project is a 2D 
structure generated using big vacuum on z direction, and it looks like such 2D 
STM can only be written in .xsf format? Is there any other software package I 
can easily switch to?

My QuantumEspresso version: 5.0.3
XCrySDen version: 1.5.24-bin-semishared, installed on ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Thanks,

Run Li
