 Dear Sergi, First of all I have to say that I am not expert on your subject. Nevertheless I have realised some discrepancies in your input file against to my knowledge. If you use tot_magnetization then starting_magnetization is becoming a useless parameter.   I draw your input in XCrySDen and t

Dear all, could somebody probably help me to generate a fully relativistic PAW pseudopotential for titanium or at least give some tips where to find one? Thank you very much in advance. With kind regards, Vladislav Borisov Institute of Theoretical Physics Goethe University Frankfurt a.M. Max-von

Dear all, I'm just curious about Xiaochuan's solution. It would be Interesting and useful to be able to specify the initial configuration in such a flexible way. As I understand from experience in other codes, it's trivial to set up the occupation for the whole system, however rather than for sepa

Dear Sergi Vela, I have encountered similar problems before. To solve your trouble I think the main question is: what is the converged electronic configuration you are expecting? I notice that your system is made by a gold slab plus a C2S3N3 molecule. The latter being isolated contains odd number

Dear Guido and Giuseppe, Thank you both for your replies. The structure should be ok, it represents an organic molecule between 2 gold electrodes. You should get something like the image I attach (do you?). It is a rather standard scheme, as you may also see in: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.10

Dear Sergi It seems that you bounce between more than one electronic configuration at every scf step. This is far from uncommon in the case of molecular open shell systems. :-( I can add one or two things to Guido's good advice. > I've tried several tricks to try to improve electronic structure

Dear Sergi Vela, are you really sure about input coordinates? I executed "xcrysden --pwi Test.input" and found a rather strange structure! Also, do you really need to use ibrav=0 with the axes as you defined? It the substrate is Au(111) you could use a more symmetric unit cell. Then: k-point me

Hi all, I'm having a lot of troubles in modeling the adsorption of molecules on surfaces. I've quite a lot of experience with QE when working with crystals made of open-shell molecules but I'm not familiar with the description of metal surfaces. First of all, I'm using Qespresso v.5.1.1 I succee

dear Xu looks like that the calculation in one of the cells you are using (or maybe both) is not converged with the size of the cell. The linear response calculation of U is only sensitive to the distance and the number of neighbors. As long as the supercell you are using guarantees that each Fe (
