Re: [Pw_forum] LO-TO splitting in complete phonon dispersion using PWSCF

2014-11-25 Thread Kondaiah Samudrala
Dear all,

I am looking to know the possibility of asr  rule for non zero q point
(along any other special point from GAMMA direction)  Is it
possible???. If no, How can PWscf phonon dispersion plots contains LO-TO
splitting in whole phonon dispersion relation!

Help me in this doubt... Thanks in advance

Re: [Pw_forum] Questions about vc-relax

2014-11-25 Thread Giuseppe Mattioli

Dear Shaofeng
vc-relax calculations are VERY sensitive to unconverged wfcs and densities. The 
corresponding ecutwfc and ecutrho variables are generally kept on the 
low side in the examples, because fast execution is more important than 
accuracy in this case. So be sure that your results are converged before 
comparing them, and keep in mind that different kinds of pseudopotential (NC, 
US, PAW) require different wfc and density cutoffs.

Define "correct results" in the context of ab initio calculations, please...:-)

[Pw_forum] adding a force term by hand

2014-11-25 Thread Nossa, Javier
Dear Users and developers,

I want to do a full optimization adding (by hand) the following term eEZ*,
into the force subroutine. Here e is the electron charge, E is an external
electric field (only in one direction) and Z* is the effective charge
(already calculated). I checked the code but I did not find the right place
to add it.

Could you please point out where is the right place/subroutine to add this
term.

Thank you very much.

[Pw_forum] Questions about vc-relax

Dear all,

I am  new user of QE and trying to do some structure optimization of  
minerals. When I was running examples of As structure (VCSexample) in PW  
folder, I found the unit volume increased dramatically from 245 to  
274.7a.u.^3 at 0 kbar like follow:
  unit-cell volume  = 245.3705 (a.u.)^3
  new unit-cell volume =273.57167 a.u.^3 (40.53914 Ang^3 )

caused the difference between different pseudopotential, (3) how can I get  
correct reuslts?

Any comments or help are very appreciated.

[Pw_forum] Help with QE compilation

2014-11-25 Thread Elliot Menkah

Hello Everyone,


I've compiled a parallel version of QE-5.0.2 on a quad-core workstation
along with other dependencies such as openmpi-1.8.1 and fft-3.3.4 but
when i run my calculations with it, I seem not to get the optimized
computing power and efficiency as I expect.

The time line and factor for the same jobs is no different from when I
run them with a serial version.

Could it be that I didn't compile it well or some dependencies are missing?

Can anyone please help me out.

Below is how I compiled the packages.
