[Pw_forum] magnetic field

2016-11-21 Thread Mems Aghaee
Hi

I am a PhD student and i have begun quantum-espresso soft ,recently.

I saw this formula in Input data description for constrained_magnetization:

LAMBDA * SUM_{i} ( magnetization(i) - fixed_magnetization(i))**2

I don’t understand how to be used this formula in quantumespresso.

For example I took 0.2 Ry for magnetic field in my output. but I don’t know how 
to transfer Ry toTesla?

I used this formula: U =  μ. B  (formula 1)

Is this correct?

Actually Iknow Total magnetization without applying magnetic field is 2.67 
magneton bohrafor Fe and I know Fe can have Total magnetization =4 , totally.

Then i want to achieveTotal magnetization = 4  when I applyMagnetic field.

So for this work idid 4 – 2.67= 1.33 magneton bohra and I put 
fixed_magnetization(3) = 1.33magneton bohra and I took -0.03 Ry for magnetic 
field in my output.

I transfered 0.03 Ryto joule and I achieved  0.6  10^-19 joule and I transfer 
1.33 magnetonbohra to joule/Tesla and I achieved 12.3  10^-24 joule/Tesla.

Then I used thisformula: U = μ . B and I achievedB = 5000 Tesla , approximately 
 and Ithink this amount is unreasonable.

And if I use thisformula: u= B^2/2 μ . (formula2)

I wont havepermibility for different kinds of nano particles for example Fe3o4 
that I amworking on it.


 
And my last questionis: i did my calculation Collinear, is this correct? Or I 
should do my calculationnoncollinear?


Please guide me.My phone number:00989125535899

The parameters nq1, nq2,and nq3 is determine the Monkhorst-Pack grid for
the DFPT calculation (phonon calculation) that done in q-space (you
calculate the dynamical matrices explicitly and not the force constants).
In DFPT there is no supercell but the convergence with respect to q-points
is similar to the convergence with respect to the size of the supercell in
supercell approaches.

Phonons do not have just transverse or longitudinal polarization. There are
phonons with polarization that is neither transverse nor longitudinal
(although transverse and longitudinal polarizations are off-course
possible). The most general polarization is elliptical. In general, the
polarization vector is complex and you can know it from the calculation
(after diagonalization of the dynamical matrices). You have this
information in the dynamical matrices files which is output of the phonon
calculation and also you have it in the output of matdyn.x in the file
matdyn.modes.

We recently publish a work in which we analyze the polarization of a
complex acoustic phonon in the corner of a hexagonal Brillouin zone:

http://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.94.174305

You can maybe find it interesting.

[Pw_forum] transverse acoustic, longitudinal acoustic, and out-of-plane transverse acoustic

2016-11-21 Thread ali ghafari
Dear QE Users
I 'm  going to calculate the Phonon dispersion with Quantum ESPRESSO (version 
6.0). The acoustic spectra consist of  three branches which are transverse 
acoustic (TA), longitudinal acoustic (LA), and out-of-plane transverse acoustic 
(ZA).I have two questions: 
1- Does the dimension of Supercell for phonon calculation determine by nq1, 
nq2,and nq3 in the phonon input file?2- we know that the lowest three 
dispersion in the phonon spectra show the three acoustic branches, but how can 
I find which one is for TA, LA, and ZA? thanks for your reply.Best RegardsAli___
