Re: [QE-users] hybrid HSE much more stable convergence with PAW than NC

2018-09-19 Thread Paolo Giannozzi
This is quite surprising: there has been much more development work on
hybrid functionals with NC PP than with PAW. If you have simple cases of NC
PP calculatons failing for no apparent good reason, please report them
(preferrably on gitlab.com)

[QE-users] hybrid HSE much more stable convergence with PAW than NC

2018-09-16 Thread Christoph Wolf
Dear all,

I found something rather curious and I was wondering if this is systematic
or a glitch. When working with hybrids (HSE06) PAW pseudos work much better
than NC despite everything else (equilibrium structure, bands, phonons)
being virtually identical. Is there a reason for PAW showing much more
stable behavior? In particular with NC pseudos I frequently encounter

dexx is negative!  Check that exxdiv_treatment is appropriate for the
system, or ecutfock may be too low

which rarely happens with the PAW.

Any comment is much appreciated!

Best,
Chris
