[Pw_forum] Questions on pseudo potentials

Dear QE helpers and users, I'm running a vc-relax calculation on a six-element alloy. First I used the following list as pseudo potentials: Al 27.D0 Al.pz-vbc.UPF Ti 48.D0 Ti.pz-sp-van_ak.UPF Cr 52.D0 Cr.pbe-mt_fhi.UPF Fe 56.D0 Fe.pz-nd-rrkjus.UPF Co 59.D0 Co.pbe-mt_fhi.UPF Ni 59.D0 N

Thanks, Surender! That did seem to solve the problem! Thank you very much. But wouldn't this imply an error in the source files, which I'm sure most people didn't encounter. Does anyone know why? Thanks On Mon, May 20, 2013 at 10:38 AM, Surender wrote: > Hi Yantao Wu > >

[Pw_forum] Questions on ibrav in pw.x

2013-05-28 Thread Yantao Wu
Dear QE, I'm wondering what ibrav means in pw.x. My confusion is that if you can specify atomic positions freely, isn't the structure of the solid already implied by the positions? So why do we need the extra variable of ibrav. Or does ibrav carries more meaning than just the initial lattice struc

Hi, 1) I don't think you can accurately predict how much time one simulation will take, But complexity of the algorithm is O(N^2), so you can some information from this. 2) In "controls" tab, there is a field called "restart_mode". It is default to "from_scratch", but you can change it to "restart
