Re: [Pw_forum] How to choose ecutwfc value?

2017-10-19 Thread Nicola Marzari
Thanks Saif, this is very useful. Sadly, it also shows the current limitations in the field. Basically, these days one can "converge" the computational parameters quite well (increase the supercells, improve the k-point sampling, make sure the smearing is correct, etc...), but often there r

Dear Giuseppe, Thanks a lot for answering. I include all the correction and I successfully solved for bilayer MoS2 but I'm still having problem with 'vc-relax' calculation for 7 layers MoS2. Attached is the input and output. Best Regards, Ibrahim Yahaya Muhammad 7-MoS2.in Description: Binary da

I've changed the code according to the neb.diffs file and got following error: Error in routine initial_guess (1): something wrong: images are too close I then checked my initial and final coordinates and found out that they are the same. I accidentally copied the same coordinates in

Dear Ibrahim I checked the structure with xcrysden and it seems correct to me, thus we can rule out the usually main reason for bad scf convergence. :-) However there are still a few thing you should try to adjust: 1) celldm(1)=5.9722904441d0, celldm(3)=15.8777369953d0, celldm(3) is too small.

Dear Dr. Kawamura thanks a lot for the patch. Dear Giuseppe, after discussion of our collaborators with Paolo Giannozzi and Stefano De Gironcoli, we learned that it is possible in QE v 6.1 to use tetrahedra for relax and vc-relax calculations for insulators/semiconductors, especially using

[Pw_forum] Supercell Creation of a 1D system

Dear Users, I am writing this mail for some discrete help. In my research , I need to generate bandstructure for a specific nanowire . Now, I am new to Quantum Espresso. As far as I understand, Quantum Espresso calculates only systems periodic in three directions. But for nanowires (1D) I may need

Some time ago somebody reported something similar, or maybe I got NaN's as well, don't remember. It turned out that the path had zero length. I added the attached patch to the development version. Paolo On Wed, Oct 18, 2017 at 7:32 PM, Maxim Skripnik < maxim.skrip...@uni-konstanz.de> wrote: > De
