Re: [QE-users] Why is my ev.x gave wrong calculations of equilibrium volume?

2023-02-22 Thread Abdeslam Houari via users
The equilibrium volume V0 given by the code is for the unit cell (per formula unit)The one you give, call it V, is the volume of the conventional cubic cell (V =4 * V0 )I hope it's clear ! = Abdesalem HOUARI

Re: [QE-users] using Hybrid functional in QE

2023-01-08 Thread Abdeslam Houari via users
When you use "input_dft", this automatically overwrite the xc-functional of the PP (this is well explained in the PWscf manuel). As far as I understood (we discussed this few weeks ago in the forum), whatever the PP you are using, the "input_dft" will run hybrid calculation according to it's

[QE-users] hybrid fucntionals with any DFT one

2022-11-19 Thread Abdeslam Houari via users
Hello, In the hybrid functionals (PBE0, HSE06 ..etc ), a part of the PBE exchange (25%) is replaced by the EXX (Fock term). For example in HSE06, the functional reads : E(HSE06)xc = 1/4E(Fock,S)x + 3/4E(PBE,S)x + E(PBE,L)x + E(PBE)c In principle, it is possible to use any DFT functional and

Re: [QE-users] Is it possible to use different input_dft for different types of atoms

2022-11-17 Thread Abdeslam Houari via users
I agree, the charge density is the one of the total system, so that from "input_dft" it is not possible.However, I don't know if it's possible to use different PPs for different atoms.  a PBE(GGA) Pseudo for atom 1 and PZ(LDA) one for atom 2? I did test this before ! Abdesalem Houari

Dear Ricardo; Sorry to reply late... I think that according to the excellent paper of A. Dal Corso that you mentioned, it depends on the PP that you use. If you use for example a Fully Relativistic PP, so its OK for spin-orbit and other terms ! The implementation concerns rather the ld.x code (to

Hi David; I think that the variable-cell relaxation has nothing to do with all-electron or pseudo-potential approaches. Variable-cell means that you relax not only the atomic positions but also the shape and the size of the unit cell. In your situation you may probably try an all-electron method

Dear GAO Zhe; As told by Lorenzo Paulatto, I think that LDA+U is just a name and all the important thing is how to include the Hubbard "U" term. However, in may opinion, this still being true only for DFT (LDA or GGA) XC functional, and one should take care if the XC functional is a Hybrid-type
