Yes, see developer manual, section 6.1. Note the sphere is inscribed inside

[QE-users] Location of Fermi level in spin polarised XAS in xspectra

2020-03-03 Thread Sonu Kumar
Dear QE users and experts,

Xspecta assumes one common reference energy level to calculate the total
absorption cross-section in DFT+U calculations, which I can understand.

However, it separately calculates both spin channel contributions to the
absorption cross-section; does it take different reference levels to
calculate the absorption cross-sections for these channels? If not, could
you suggest some references to understand it or give hints?

With best regards,
kumar

May be relative energies are fine within the code itself. But what happens,
if different parts of the code are using different constants, might be
serious (to what level, I am not sure).  For example, EPW code in
qe-distribution defines bohr radius = 0.52917721092d0 (applicable to other
constants as well) different from that in PW.

Thanks, Dr Cantele for your detailed reply. I fully agree with your
explanation, specific to the electronic eigenvalues and total energies.
But, I see some eigenvalues differ by 0.6 meV or less indicating these
might affect phonons/e-ph-interactions/magnetic-interactions/polarons and
similar subtle perturbations. To what extent quantitatively is an open

[QE-users] Physical constants conversion inconsistency

2020-01-22 Thread Sonu Kumar
Dear QE developers,

I found that physical constant conversion factors are incorrect in the q-e
version 6.2 and 6.4.1. For example, Bohr to ang conversion factor is around
0.529177208591, while nist codata value (
https://physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/cuu/Value?bohrrada0) is 5.291 772 109 03
e-11 m.  This error is introduced in data-file-schema.xml files as lattice
parameters are written in Bohr (provided input file contain lattice
parameters in angstrom units). This error might lead to other erroneous
physical quantities involving angstrom units.

Also, output file contains 'lattice parameter (alat)  =' values upto 4
decimal places; It will be better (in my opinion) to add more decimal
places so as to check conversions to angstrom units or so.

Looking into the constants.f90 files in Modules in the src directory, I
found the same. This is true for other constants mentioned in this file.

With kind regards, sonu

Try taking small kinetic energy cutoff (ecut), charge density cutoff, and
less kpts; and see whether it proceeds to completion. Also, keep an eye on

[Pw_forum] Fwd: generating PDOS is missing for some atoms

2014-07-29 Thread Sonu Kumar
Tonatiuh,

>If the pseudo does not contain the wavefunctions, then it will not do the
PDOS.

?Yes, you are right !!!  PDOS calculation needs projection of KS-eigen
states on a set of
ortho-normal basis (atomic states are taken as an approx. orthonormal
basis)?

First set conv_thr = 1.0d-12 to small tolerance and see what happens?
If you fail, then set
Try diagonalization='cg'
Also see the documentation, here is link :

any reasonable guess with -1 < starting_magnetization(type of atom) < 1
and further checking with a range of values (with +/- magnetization) would

To add further
You are using only ecutwfc with default ecutrho=4*ecutwfc,
Set ecutrho somewhere between 8 -10 times of ecutwfc.

In this case your conventional cell is primitive unit cell as Pnma is space gp.

[Pw_forum] urgent

2012-10-15 Thread Sonu Kumar
if URGENT..
try  pp at  http://qe-forge.org/gf/project/pslibrary/frs/

Also, i would suggest to read the literature/theory of
pseudo potentials and also a pp generation guide by Prof.
Paolo Giannozzi  contained in the QE distribution.

Good Luck  !!!

[Pw_forum] Error in routine cdiaghg S matrix not positive definite

2012-09-25 Thread Sonu Kumar
Thank you Prof. Stefano de Gironcoli for this information.

But, the confusion arose because there was not
"character" keyword corresponding to vander Waals
functional, like we have SLA, PZ, NOGX, NOGC  for
exchange, correlation terms etc.

[Pw_forum] negative dr2

2012-07-11 Thread Sonu Kumar
Dear all QE users and developers,

While using PAW pseudopotential, i got the error "NEGATIVE dr2".

Commenting out the line (used to check the error in energy in scf cycle )
as suggested in
http://www.democritos.it/pipermail/pw_forum/2011-July/021150.html, i got
the convergence.

Is it a trustworthy/robust solution to avoid the error ?
or do i have to generate new PAW potential to correctly represent the core
region density?

2012-07-02 Thread Sonu Kumar
Dear all QE users and Prof. Guido Fratesi,

I have a doubt...
Electron localization function calculations does not make
much sense when using ultra-soft pseudopotentials.

Is it true? although USPP takes into account the charge removal due
to smoothness of pseudo states  by adding augmentation charges.

I think, after applying ASR i.e. using dynmat.x, you can
obtain these well arranged eigen vectors. Although no so sure.

Dear Prof. Paolo Giannozzi and ALL QE users,

If i use "dynmat.x", and use q=0,0,0 point (gamma), i get corrected eigen
values and
eigen vectors. It seems to me that ASR is applied to eigen vectors, because
they are different (more or less) from eigen vectors obtained from
conventional
"phonon.x" output. Is it so ?

However this difference could affect properties depending upon eigen
vectors or eigen
displacements. Am i right ?

One Basic question:
since eigen values and eigen vectors are related to eech other through
eigen values equation, Ax-\{Lamda}Ix=O. So, if x is changing(corrected)
after using
dynmax.x (imposing ASR), then why not eigen values are corrected ?
or is there any  linear combination of eigen vectors is used in the
procedure of ASR
so as to get  the same eigenvalue \Lamda.

with kind regards,
SK

[Pw_forum] SCF correction compared to forces is too large.

2011-12-23 Thread Sonu Kumar
Dear all QE users,

During optimization, i got following message:

 Total force = 0.04 Total SCF correction = 0.01
 SCF correction compared to forces is too large, reduce conv_thr

Total force is  less than total scf correction. Then why the message
is contradicting? I used  conv threshold for scf=1.0d-10.

Thank you.

[Pw_forum] units in QE (thread renamed from k point value)

2011-11-18 Thread Sonu Kumar
Hi Padmaja,

>Another question is, which unit is followed in QE?
>a.u. (hbar = e^2 = m_e = 1, energy? in Hartree)? or Rydberg unit ( hbar=1, 
>e^2=2, m_e=1/2, energy in rydberg).

QE uses atomic rydberg units, so units of  angular momentum is  h bar,
the unit for mass is 2m_e ,unit for charge is e/sqrt(2), and unit of energy is
rydberg. wheras abinit uses hartree atomic units.

good luck.

Is GPU enabled QE for 64 bit arch. available?

If yes, can anyone tell me the link to it. Is it possible to download
without
using svn command.  Unfortunately, i am not able to update my OS, so unable
to
install "svn" command.

Also, where is the link to QE-GPU forum? QE main site seems not to have this

(2) only cubic crystals has LO and TO braches.

crystals ( having considerable values of macroscopic dielectric constant [ i
suppose
epsilon infinity] and born effective charges, as pointed  out by Prof. Eyvaz
Isaev) with low symmetry can, also, have LO-TO splitting. But this can be
 different in different symmetry directions, so one has to search all
symmetry directions for this splitting.

For cubic crystals splitting is equal in all directions.

NaHF2 is mainly ionic than CuAlO2, so one may  expect to have differences

[Pw_forum] further: born charges in rhombohedral unit cell.

2011-04-08 Thread sonu kumar
Sorry for my incomplete mail.

Dear Prof. Stefano de Gironcoli  and QE users,

So one would expect to have anisotropic born charges with off-diagonal
elements for unit cell with R-3m space group.
However, in PHYSICAL REVIEW B 73, 155114 ?2006? , NaHF2   have zero values
for off-diagonal
elements of born-charges and diagonal elements are:

  H F   Na
xx/yy   .337~ -.71.057
zz ~2 ~ -1.5 ~1

Similary in CuAlO2 with same space group, i have found zero values of
off-diagonal elements of born tensor.

How you explain this?

   is there any tool to do so?  kpoint.x doesn't produce kpoints along

2) how to output the valence and core charge density in PP generation using

Thank you very much for your help.

Problem is solved with gfortran compiler ( gcc version 4.4.1 ).
All the tests and phonon calculations are working fine.


>did you pay real money for your compiler? complain with Intel.

I used latest non-commercial version of intel fortran compiler.
Will try to check with other intel compilers.


>About one year ago I met a very similar problem with the sun compiler.
>After a long debugging session I was able to track it to a specific
>compiler bug: loop counter was not incremented at loop exit (for

>iotk solved the problem.

will try with -O1 flag.

I tried with both, phonon calculations and "tests" , and got the same error.
So seems that it's not the problem with phonon input file or test input

Also one thing, with scf calculations code finishes with no error.

[Pw_forum] Again: unable( impossible ) to generation PP with semicore states and NLCC ?

2010-10-18 Thread sonu kumar
Thank you Prof.  Paolo Giannozzi for your reply.

>how can you get a "negative rho" problem with norm-conserving PPs?

negative rho problem is (must be) with USPP while pseudizing the q
functions.
i am sorry for the incomplete info.

>typically you need NLCC when you do not want to include semicore states.
sometimes we may need both semicore and NLCC like in magnetic properties and
lattice
dynamics of complex oxides(in which an atoms  have different environments
depending upon its site symmetry). Anyone having experience  in this regard
can
support my argument.

>Can you generate simpler PPs?
 Yes,Sir.

>Have you read the documentation on how to
>generate PPs?

very well sir.


>the case of semicore state is mentioned. It is not
>trivial.

I am optimistic and will be able to generate required PP.

>the atomic code works, but it cannot do everything, and sometimes it
is hard to generate PPs.

thank you for keeping my faith in atomic code.

[Pw_forum] Again: unable( impossible ) to generation PP with semicore states and NLCC ?

2010-10-17 Thread sonu kumar
Thank you Duy Le for your reply.

>Why do you need a +0.5 pp? Can you make pp with semicore for regular Cu?

PP for an ionic state can be used like neutral pp for the same atom and
"ideally" should be
same.

I hope i would be able to generate required PP.

Thank you very much Duy Le and QE forum.

[Pw_forum] Again: unable( impossible ) to generation PP with semicore states and NLCC ?

2010-10-16 Thread sonu kumar
Dear All QE users and developers,

I am very sorry for this mail again.

I am unable  generation of PP for Cu with TM (also with rrkj scheme)
pseudization scheme , when i  include semicore states 3s and 3p and NLCC,
after making
many-many tries ( variations in  rc's, logder, V_loc, matching rad for aug
func etc)

The most comman problem is "negative rho " problem.
I also want to use PAW , but unfortunately even unable to generate USPP.

This is leading  me to think (not 100% sure through  very limited
experience) that atomic code is unable to generate pp with both NLCC
and semicore states and also loosing  my faith in atomic code. So i need
help from PP expert or any one willing to help.

[Pw_forum] problem in generation of PP with semicore states?

2010-10-15 Thread sonu kumar
Dear All QE users and developers,

I have problems with generation of PP for Cu(+0.5)  with TM
pseudization scheme , when i  include semicore states.

Without semicore state, i don't have any problem.

But when i include 3s and 3p states in valence,  error comes like-
negative rho, problem in  finding qi coeffs. Rho problem is solved
with PSQ aug functions,
but finding  of qi coeffs is still there.

[Pw_forum] energy cutoff for oxides

2010-09-28 Thread sonu kumar
Dear mohnish pandey,

for convergene tests in bulk, both "relax"(for atomic coordinates) and
"vc-relax"(for lattice parameters with some what high values of ecutwfc
 and kpts than converged values)) options have to be used. please correct me

if  i am wrong?


! Are you sure you are relaxing the bulk system for
! convergence test? For convergence test you have to *vc-relax calculation*not
! 'scf'. 'SCF' calculation will not convergence stress and forces in the
! system so your energy will show the behavior that you are getting and by
the!
! way as Dr. Lorenzo said you should specify the type of pseudopotential you

2) pseudo charge density corresponding to pseudized core(nlcc) and

Dear Paolo and Michael,

> ls -l As.pz-bhs_s1.UPF\
>it looks like there is something at the end of the file name

This was the first  problemactually when i was renaming the file, BY
DEFAULT "one or two spaces" are
added to end of .UPF file. However, in window interface, these spaces can
not be detected.

So, lesson to me:
Use command line interface.

Second  problem was incomplete .UPF file.

perfectly with  no error.

Could you (or any QE user) please tell me, what could be the problem with
compiler or libraries associated with it ?

Does other softwares, which use ifort, can change or corrupt  the ifort?

I am not aware of functioning of ifort, but what should i do now? I am not
able to use the PP's ?

[Pw_forum] Problem in reading PP's taken from QE site?

2010-06-15 Thread sonu kumar
Dear all QE users,

I m having problem with reading of pp's taken from QE site
http://www.quantum-espresso.org/pseudo.php

I did many scf runs e.g. on Al, AlAs, PbTiO3 etc., and found the problem in
reading the pp file.

Error of not finding the  pp file comes( like file ./Al.pz-vbc_s1.UPF not
found), while with exactly same pp present in "pseudo", no error comes. e.g
with   Al, As  pp's : Al.pz-vbc.UPF, As.pz-bhs.UPF etc.

I, further, checked  by reading the first two lines of pp's. PP's present in
"pseudo" are read  but  that taken from site are not read.

small trivial program used to read is:
  program red
  implicit none
  character :: char1*10, char2*50
  open(unit=1, file="As.pz-bhs.UPF", status="old")

  read (1,"(A10)") char1
  read (1,"(A50)") char2

  write(*,"(A10)") char1
  write(*,"(A50)") char2
  end program red

Output of above program:

1)For pp As.pz-bhs.UPF in " pseudo " is :


Generated using unknown code

2) For EXACTLY SAME pp As.pz-bhs.UPF from site is:

forrtl: No such file or directory
forrtl: severe (29): file not found, unit 1, file
/home/hcg/Desktop/DESKTOP_sonu/CODES/pwscf/sonu-exercise_QE/AlAs/As.pz-bhs_s1.UPF

I don't know why the pp's are  not read by the program?

I really need your help !!!
Please help me to find the solution.

Are you sure that the pseudo_dir = './' is specified correctly...
Seem to be the error comes from that QE does not find out the file  of
Si.pbe-rrkj.UPF

[Pw_forum] Error in reading the Pseudopotentials taken from QE site?

2010-06-02 Thread sonu kumar
Dear QE users,

I have problem with running of programs with pseudopotentials taken from QE
site.
error is :
%
task # 0
 from readpp : error #29
 file ./Si.pbe-rrkj.UPF not found
%%%

However, when i use the PP of the pseudo directory, the program runs with no
error.

e.g. I did scf  calculations of Si system., with PP Si.pbe-rrkj.UPF taken
from QE site,http://www.quantum-espresso.org/pseudo/1.3/html/Si.html

Input file is:
 &control
calculation='scf',
restart_mode='from_scratch',
prefix='Si'
pseudo_dir = './',
outdir='./'
 /
 &system
ibrav = 2, celldm(1) =10.20, nat=  2, ntyp= 1,
ecutwfc = 18.0
 /
 &electrons
mixing_beta = 0.7
conv_thr =  1.0d-8
 /
ATOMIC_SPECIES
 Si  28.086  Si.pbe-rrkj.UPF   #[ Si.pz-vbc.UPF- works fine (present in

   0.375  0.375  0.375   1.00
   0.375  0.375  0.625   3.00

I don't know what could be the problem?

Can it be a problem with compilation of QE package? I did the tests in
"tests" to check the results with references therein, and they were ok with
the references.

[Pw_forum] Help regarding the generation of Pseudopotentials for rare earths?

2010-05-27 Thread sonu kumar
Dear Paolo,Goranka, and all QE users,

 I want to generate  nonrelativistic and relativistic USPP/NCPP with/without
spin-orbit interaction for rare eaths.
 It seems, after reading the "espresso-4.1.2/atomic_doc" that pp for
rare-earths can be generated.
 By the way http://www.quantum-espresso.org/user_guide/node56.html,
question-11.3.0.2, tells about code "atomic". where can i find it? is it
"ld1.x" or different?

Thanks for your kind help !!

Dear all QE users,

I am new user of Quantum Espresso.
Can anybody tell/give me PP generation files/links etc., to generate "PP"
for rare earth elements using  *ld1.x* ?
http://www.quantum-espresso.org/pseudo.php doesn't  contain  pp for rare
earths.

[Pw_forum] generation of pseudopotential for Ho?

2010-05-22 Thread sonu kumar
Dear all QE users,

I have troubles with generations of pp for Ho. I did many changes in input
file( Ho.ps.in)...but no success.

1) i am generating Pseudopotential  taking into 6s and 4f states as valence
with no semicore. Input file and error are as follows.

input file:-

 &input
iswitch=3,

rlderiv=2.8,
eminld=-13.0,
emaxld=2.5,
deld=0.01d0,
nld=2, #4

   rel=0,
   zed=67.0,
   config="[Xe] 4f10 6s0 " #+3 state
   dft='LDA',
  /
 &inputp
 lloc=3,#2
 pseudotype=1,
 file_pseudopw='Ho.rrkj3.UPF',
 zval=10.0,
  /
 2
 6S  1  0  0.00  0.00  3.03.0
 4F  2  3  10.0  0.00  1.30  1.30

error is:-

%%
 task # 0
 from read_psconfig : error # 2
 ps-label wrong?
 %%

2) i, also, want to take into account semicore states. For that, do i need
to just add 5s and 5p into valence?


I need your help. I am new to Quantum Espresso.
