[Pw_forum] Mean internal potential for e-microscopy

Dear users and developers, I have two related questions about what would be more meaningful to extract from a SCF calculation with DFT in Quantum Espresso as far as the *mean internal potential* is concerned. This quantity, in electron microscopy experiments, is linearly related (at least in fi

Hey Cameron, I think that the main problem is your lattice parameter. You use 5.8364 bohr which is 5.8364*0.529177 = 3.088 Angstrom. Thus, your MoS2 is under compressive strain. That's why you (correctly) get an indirect band gap between K and Q. See also Fig. 3(b) of Phys. Rev. B 85, 033305: ht

Dear Cameron, I don’t think that this strange behavior is due to mixing_beta or conv_thr, so you can remove those flags from the input. Moreover, the vacuum space you use (~27 A) is a bit large, you can slightly reduce it to speedup the calculation. As far as I can see you should: 1) check if t

Dear Lorenzo, Thanks for your comment. I tried changing the lattice constants effect band gap, but I got reverse trend which was increasing the band gap by increasing lattice constants. In experiment, people measure smaller band gap in higher temperature (larger lattice constant). By any chance, d

Dear Reza, In addition to what Lorenzo suggested in relation to the accuracy of DFT in describing the band gap, there is a possibility that point defects can play a role in reducing the gap as the temperature increases. You might need to inspect the literature more to see how the observed re

Dear Saswata, Have checked your structure with xcrysden? For a double perovskite, your input structure is wrong. When using ibrav=2 you should process your dimensionless atomic coordinates before using them with "ATOMIC_POSITIONS crystal" or simply use "ATOMIC_POSITIONS alat" instead as longs a

Hi Saswata, WRT your question 2, I have posted on the forum for several years pointing out the lack of a tool to calculate e-p interaction in the context of LDA+U. Such a tool is badly needed within QE and supporting response function packages such as Yambo. I've been told the tool may be av
