Re: [QE-users] Memory requirement for open_grid.x

I think you can build smaller cluster from this crystal,then you can use gaussian or orca to run your system. First principle calculation always need high ram capacity when your atom numbers in your system is big . ---Original--- From: "Lorenzo Paulatto"https://lists.quantum-espresso.org/mailm

I managed to run this using 2 cores instead of all available cores (took only 30 mins), since Lorenzo I think had suggested earlier in the forum that it is a pain to run open_grid.x in parallel. Still would be interested to know if there are other ways of reducing memory requirement. Zeeshan _

[QE-users] Time-reversal broken in DFT+U calculation without starting_magnetization

2021-01-13 Thread Dominik Gresch (Experis AG) via users
Dear QE community, I am investigating a system with noncollinear spin and +U correction, but without starting_magnetization. Due to the following sentence in the pw.x input description, I would expect this calculation to exhibit time-reversal symmetry: In the spin-orbit case starting with zero

[QE-users] How to calculate mechanical properties of polymers

Hi I'm familiar with DFT modeling for metallic systems and reactions (relax,NEB.x,..) ,but now i want to study the mechanical properties of polymers (ex. Poly-propylene) such as tensile stress and modulus,...etcFor the input file, should i represent the polymer by using only the monomer ? How ma
