[Pw_forum] Difference between v.5.0.2 and v5.2.0

2015-08-14 Thread Q.J.Wang
Dear all, The v.5.0.2 is convergent when I relax the crystal structure of BFO, however, the v.5.2.0 is not convergent. The results of v.5.2.0 as follows: Total force = 0.327518 Total SCF correction = 0.000534 number of scf cycles= 60 number of bfgs steps= 1

Dear Mostafa Thank you for your detailed answer. you wrote 'In fact, although literature clearly shows that DFT+U predicts qualitatively problematic phonon dispersion for soft-mode materials such as TiO2' could you please cite some references? i tried to find some, but i could not find any source t

[Pw_forum] mistake in impose_deviatoric_strain_2d

2015-08-14 Thread Niels Walet
Hope this helps someone: in pw.x (espresso 5.1.2), with cell_dofree = '2Dshape' , the area (and volume) of the cell are actually not conserved. Digging around a bit, it looks like the power is wrong in flib impose_deviatoric_strain_2d: In line 59, the power of 1/3 should be 1/2

[Pw_forum] cell is blowing during Langevin dynamics

2015-08-14 Thread Venkataramana Imandi
Dear all, I am using quantum espresso (version:5.1.2) for doing Langevin dynamics on silicon cluster (total atoms: 2) running on Red Hat machine with serial and parallel process. If I don't use "nosym=.true." keyword in the input file, the following error is observed, which is shown below. If I us

Dear Venkataramana, At least a couple of problems: - This is not a cluster, this is a crystal: There is no vacuum what so ever around the two atoms - ... but the k point sampling is for an isolated system: Bulk silicon with only Gamma point is a disaster - If you use 'nosym = .false.

[Pw_forum] segmentation fault

2015-08-14 Thread Vishal Gupta
I've been running an SCF calculation for a fee Ni system on High performance cluster. The job runs fine with processors 7 or less but it always leads to segmentation fault if the no of processors exceeds 7. The job takes 4-5 days for the run. Is there any way to increase the no of processors so tha

Sorry, I should've mentioned. I asked them but they said there might be something wrong with the QE input file. If that was the case, the file shouldn't have been running fine with 7 processors but it is. Could there really be something wrong with the input file ? Sorry if I am asking stupid doubts
