[Pw_forum] vc-md only reach half of target temperature

2012-10-11 Thread Riping Wang
Dear Forum,

It try to heat vc-md calculations.
But I can not reach the target temperature.
When I set tempw = 100 ,  it will stable at about 38K
When I set tempw=1000, it will stable at about 400K.
I pasted part of my input bellow.
Any one have some idea?

Thank you very much.

'''

calculation = 'vc-md' ,
prefix = 'alpo4-10' ,
restart_mode = 'from_scratch' ,
nstep = 3 ,
/iprint = 1 ,
dt = 20 ,
/

pot_extrapolation='second-order'
wfc_extrapolation='second-order'
ion_temperature = 'berendsen' ,
tempw = 100 ,
/

cell_dynamics = 'pr' ,

[Pw_forum] vc-md could be stop by nstep after a slight change in code

2012-10-05 Thread Riping Wang
Dear forum,

The vc-md calculation in the present espresso-5.0 is unable to stop by
setting nstep.
I found the problem in the code file pw/src/vcsmd.f90.
I modified the line '''ELSE IF ( calc == 'nm' .OR. calc == 'cm' ) THEN'''
into '''ELSE IF ( calc == 'nm' .OR. calc == 'cm' .OR. calc == 'cd'  )
THEN'''.
Now it works for stoping calculations by nstep.

Hope to make it corrected in next version.


Yours.

When the link states that it is very easy to fix,
but it did not tell me how to fix.
Is there any more clear answer?

[Pw_forum] symmetry not found in pw.x and ph.x

2011-08-11 Thread Riping WANG
Dear pwforum,

I am calculating scf for a  ibrav=4 structure with espresso-4.3.2.
But it can not find the symmetry. In the output file, it report "no symmetry
found".
I am also calculation with ph.x with the same. the phonon mode is not
identified.

I confirmed the atomic positions in the input file.
It is consistent with 32 point symmetry (space group 154).

I tried ibrav=2 and 12, they can find symmetry and phonon modes, even with
atomic positions slightly different from point symmety formula..

So I am wondering: what kind of situation, the code can not find symmtery?
Is there any suggestion to make it find symmetry?

I attached the input file and output file of pw.x followiing.


Thanks very much for you attention and helps.

Best withes.

[Pw_forum] atomic positions in xsf from cppp.x

2011-03-08 Thread Riping WANG
Dear Forum,

when I use cppp.x to generate an xsf file for an vc-cp output file with
nstep=1000, there will be cell vectors and atomic positions in xsf file.
what is this cell vectors and atomic positions stand for?
For average structure configuration of 1000 steps, or for average structure
configuration of one period, just for the last configuration of the this
calculation?

Part of input file are following:
 
calculation = 'vc-cp' ,
prefix = 'SiO2' ,
restart_mode = 'restart' ,
nstep = 1000 ,
ndr = 51 ,
ndw = 52 ,

Thank you very much.

[Pw_forum] ecfixed makes the volume different?

2011-03-07 Thread Riping WANG
Dear Forum,


Could anyone give me some hints about how to adjust "qcutz,q2sigma,ecfixed"
in vc-cp?

I have some difficulties. After wave function initialization, the input file
are for zero pressure zero temperature are following.
(After zero pressure zero temperature, I will elevate temperature with
verlet algorithm.)
 But when I use different ecfixed with fixed qcutz and q2sigma, the volumes
at equilibrium are different.
some is close to that without "qcutz,q2sigma,ecfixed" used. some are 100 (
toal around 3000) different from that without "qcutz,q2sigma,ecfixed" used.
(In my case, I am sure the fnosep, wmass, and emass is good enough.)

I attached the voluem evolution figure. In the figure, from step 200-1200 is
belong to the following input file.
before 200 step is wave initialization, after 1200 step, I increased
temperature.


Thank you very much!

[Pw_forum] atomic position in vc-relax CPMD

2011-03-04 Thread Riping WANG
Dear Forum,

How can I get average atomic positions at at given pressure and temperature
with vc-relax QE-cpmd?

I set the following control model:

 
calculation = 'vc-cp' ,
prefix = 'SiO2' ,
restart_mode = 'restart',
nstep = 2000  ,
iprint = 1 ,
isave = 1 ,
dt = 5.0 ,
ndr = 54 ,
ndw = 54 ,
tstress = .TRUE. ,
tprnfor = .TRUE. ,
saverho = .TRUE. ,
disk_io = 'high' ,

But it print atomic position information in output file every 10 steps.
I hope it print c information every 1 step. and then I can make average
position by matlab.
I am not sure about this method good or not.

Could any one give comment?
Thank you

[Pw_forum] temph and fnoseh in cp.x

2011-02-04 Thread Riping WANG
Dear forum,

Is it necessary to control temph in cp.x.

At first, I did not control temph, and ignored fnoseh, I can keep the phonon
temperature at target value very well.
But later, I try to set fnoseh to control temph, it breaks during elevating
phonon temperature.

So, is anyone can give me some guide about temph and fnoseh?
Is any good  reference paper?
Thanks very much.

[Pw_forum] ion_radius

2010-12-24 Thread Riping WANG
Dear Forum,

I am using espresso-4.2.1.
In example18, for cp.x practice. I found the  " ion_radius(1) and
ion_radius(2) " in the input file.
Could you please tell me something about this input parameter, and how to
set?

as following:
 
ion_dynamics='verlet' ,
ion_temperature='nose' ,
tempw = .2 ,
fnosep = 250 ,
ion_radius(1) = 1.0 ,
ion_radius(2) = 1.0 ,

I can not find any explanation about ion_radius from espresso manual.

Thanks very much.
