[Pw_forum] cif2qe Error

2017-02-10 Thread William Joseph Ivan DeBenedetti
Dear QE Users, I am attempting to convert a crystallographic information file using the cif2qe.sh shell, I am getting some errors which I could not find in the previous PW_forum, which are also not in the cif nor shell file. Commands I have used: ./cif2qe.sh [filename] and ./cif2qe.sh

Dear Giuseppe, Many thanks for your quick response. As you have correctly guessed, the system is an organic material (fluorinated graphene). From U=0 to 3.4, M is increasing gradually up to the expected value, M remains constant till U=3.6 eV, then by increasing U, again M is reduced very soon

Dear F. Marsusi First of all you are not providing any detail of your system, so we cannot even guess what is "natural" for it. However, you are using the Hubbard U correction in a semiempirical way, and there is therefore no way to choose the U value but that reproducing some measured

Dear all, By GGA+U as implemented in QE, the correct magnetization (M) and band gap was obtained. The correct U value for each atom was obtained by intensive step by step runs to reach gradually the experimental M value, and therefore band gap. All results are OK till now (the U value itself
