[Pw_forum] local pseudopotentials

2017-06-28 Thread jiayu dai
Dear QE developers and users, Could anyone give me some introduction about the local pseudopotentials. I want to do orbital-free calculations, which need local pseudopotentials. But usually we use non-local pseudopotentials in DFT. Could we change the psp file by hand or change the source file

[Pw_forum] vdW interactions and HSE type calculations

2017-06-28 Thread Yusuf Zuntu
Dear all, I was asked to take into considerations of vdW interactions and HSE type hybrid functionals in my calculations. My system involves adsorption of atoms/molecules on 2D monolayer with embedded 3d Mn atom. It was run using DFT+U. Please I want to know if DFT+U and vdW interactions have be

Dear Paolo: Thank you very much for helping. So there is no way I can do the lattice constance optimization right now with metaGGA functionals in QE, unless somebody can re-design the pp files. Is my understanding correct? Best regards, Hong Tang __ Th

There isn't much to explain: nobody has ever written down and implemented the formula for stress in the case of meta-GGA. In QE meta-GGA is implemented (sort of) only for norm-conserving pseudopotential, so there is no need (bot that I know) to store the kinetic energy density in the PP file Paol

In addition to Tom very good suggestions, I'd strongly recommend using pslibrary 0.3.1 (paw, or ultrasoft), with 90 Ry and dual of 12. See here for extensive testing of the pseudos: https://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/216845?ln=en nicola On 28/06/2017 14:14, Tom Daff wr

Hi Ben It would probably be helpful to see your input file, as there are many difficulties with iron and it could be any one of them! What magnetism are you using? FCC iron is most stable in antiferromagnetic double layer spin state (unless you are willing to look into spin-spiral), and around th

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to run a scf and vc-relax calculation for FCC Iron (nspin = 2). I've managed to do this for a 4 atom example (although the final scf calculation did fail: Error in routine ggen (138): smooth g-vectors missing !). When I scale up to 32 atoms, it fails to converge. I've
