[Pw_forum] query on fermi energy

2012-01-14 Thread Ajit Vallabhaneni
Dear users, 1. I was wondering how to calculate the absolute value of fermi energy for graphene single layer. By varying the size of the super cell in the out of plane direction, i observed that the total energy is constant indicating no interactions in the out of plane direction, b

for the first question, there is no absolute Fermi energy. The only absolute energy is that substracting vacuum energy level from it. best Yun-Peng -- From: Ajit Vallabhaneni Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2012 3:32 PM To: PWSCF Forum Subject: [Pw_forum] query on fermi energy Dear use

Yun-peng, Thanks for your response. Is it possible to know what the vaccum energy level is ? I read in the FAQ that it cannot be calculated from the a bulk calculation alone. Thanks Ajit

Still working on this issue to make sure (well, as best I can) that I've made no egregiously stupid blunders. The e-p run is quite long...24 IRs...about a day on 8 processors. Should the problem persist, would it be useful to post the input files to ph.x and q2r.x? About 30 lines total? -Paul

Mea Culpa (that's Italian...hmm...actually Latin). It appears that some "leftovers" in temp files persisted between ph.x runs employing "qx" wavevector bases and subsequent "nq" input. As Dick Feynman reportedly observed, " The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the
