[Pw_forum] espresso-6.0-beta hybrid ACE

2016-09-14 Thread Biswajit Santra
Hello, I find that Lin Lin's ACE (Adaptively Compressed Exchange) for hybrid functionals is implemented in the espresso-6.0-beta version. I am interested in using/testing this functionality. Is it possible to provide the necessary keywords related to ACE or the place to find it? Thank you very m

[Pw_forum] Running Environ with pw.x

2016-09-14 Thread Rolly Ng
Dear Environ users, I have compile Environ 0.2 with QE v.5.3.0 and I am trying to run example01 using my own input format, so I extract the essential parts from the run_example.sh as h2o.in and environ.in. These 2 input files are placed in the same directory. Then I called mpirun -np 24 ./pw

[Pw_forum] Assistance with the Work Function of Mo(100) covered with ZrO2

2016-09-14 Thread Omamuyovwi Akemu
Dear QE users, Pls I want to study the Work Function of Mo(100) surface covered with ZrO2. It is observed experimentally that the Work Function of Mo(100) surface is about 4.3eV. However, it is reduced to about 2.1eV when covered with Zirconium oxide. I have calculated for Workfct of Mo(100) and

Dear Ilya, I think the discussion is quite full already, but maybe I can add a few details on the Environ module, which may be of some use in your application, similarly to what Giuseppe already said. Environ allows to introduce a continuum dielectric medium in your simulation cell, this was

Thomas: > I don't know of any way of introducing a image charge in the > metallic slab by hand... well, I would envision a "quick-and-dirty" implementation as follows: determine the position of a "mirror plane", which has to be somewhere closeby to the surface of a real slab, add classical forces

Dear Ilya, Guiseppe is right and this is also the only way I think you can get the image charge. You have to use the neutral Cl (i.e. no core hole), put an extra electron, and force it to stay on Cl. This you can try with +U (or SIC? or constrained DFT?). Anyway, in this case you can end up with a
