Dear Mortars Thank you for guidelines. I concluded that if I replace the line K_POINTS gamma With line similar to the following K_POINTS 1 1 1 1 1 1 I will be able to do the berry phase calculations with pw.x program. Is it true? Cordially yours Parham Shenavar Electronic Engineering Shiraz

Dear Dario, Thank you for a kind reply. You mean that if it is converged without smearing option, then there is no problem on doing turboTDDF calculation. Am I correct? Sincerely, Sunghwan Choi Sunghwan Choi Ph.D candidate Computational Quantum Molecular

Dear QE users, I am working on metal doped graphene and I would like to know the correct way of setting up the K-point grid for scf and nscf calculation. For scf, I have used: K_POINTS {automatic} 6 6 1 0 0 0 But for nscf, I am not sure, will shifting x y directions gives better

Dear Parham, I never studied quantum dots , so I cannot give a particular recommendation. But for the electric field in Berry phase formalism I can say that Gamma point only is not implemented in pw.x but it the default and only option in cp.x. In pw.x you can use one kpoint but it has to be

dear Muhammad Adnan Saqlain, gamma extrapolation is a way to deal with the ill defined value of the exchange integral between wfcs at k and k+q in the limit of q->0. if you use a truncated coulomb interaction that limit is not ill defined. no need to use the gamma_extrapolation

Dear Sunghwan, I have not used the code on systems with the characteristics you describe. This is my guess: As far as the ground state of your quantum dot converges without a smearing the turboTDDFT code can be used and will be stable. While the independent electron polarizability of a 0 gap
