Re: [QE-users] hp.x Error in routine cdiaghg (270): problems computing cholesky
Dear Simon, You can compute Hubbard parameters using HP on top of the metallic ground state (i.e. with U=0 for your system). Just do one scf with smearing in that case. > Would you suggest to take a parameter set from this (e.g > LVO_5.0_2.7_0.0/scf2.out: highest occupied, lowest unoccupied level > (ev):12.3585 13.4614: 1.1029) and start the HP scheme from there on? Do you mean that you used U=5 eV for La-4f, U=2.7 for V-3d, and U=0 for O-2p? I would try smaller starting U value for La-4f, e.g. 3.2 eV with ortho-atomic orbitals [see PRR 2, 033265 (2020)]. So maybe check first whether you still have a gap with U=3.2 eV for La-4f?

Dear Iurii, thank you for your response, yes I have noticed this, I thought HP can start from this 'false state' and calculate the U parameters to correctly reflect the Mott-insulator behavior.

Dear Simon, If you check the output file of the second SCF calculation, you will see this: highest occupied, lowest unoccupied level (ev):13.2680 12.9953 This means that the system is metallic, and hence your should not use a two-step SCF procedure. Just perform the first SCF calculation with smearing and then proceed to the HP calculation. Or, if the system is experimentally known to be insulating, you can add some finite value of U to V-3d states, which should open a gap and then proceed with the two-step SCF procedure plus HP.
