Hi For bulk modulus, energy Vs lattice const., is always welcome. Otherway, there are lot of discussions on PWSCF forum, as one of by Prof. Eduardo Menendez. http://exciting.wdfiles.com/local--files/lithium-energy-vs-strain-calculations/elastic-paper.pdf and http://exciting-code.org/elastic dow

Dear QE users I am calculating the bulk modulus using the ev.x executable. The bulk modulus obtained is extremely sensitive to the number of data i use in the lattice parameter vs energy table. if i use three values a-x, a, a+x, where a is the equilibrium lattice parameter and x is 0.01 or 0.02

it seems that you don't know how bulk modulus is actually calculated. It is -V(d^2E/dV^2). So you need to vary the volume, calculate total energy then fit the data to equation of states (I think ev.f90 do this job, I am not so sure. But in any case, you can always fit these data to equation of stat

Hi Tram, To use ev.x, you need a file with the lattice constants and total energies tabulated. Here is a shell script that will take an input file, adjust the lattice parameter over a small range (+/- 2% in my example) and collect the lattice parameters and total energies in an file I call ev.

Hi All, Hope everyone had great holidays, I had a question before regarding the Bulk Modulus calculation (ev.f90) But I'm having hard time understand the file and don't know how to use the ev.f to help me calculate the bulk modulus if I have an input file is like below and the structure is zi

Dear All, Hope everyone is having a great Holiday. would you please help me out with this, I'm looking for the "ev.f" that help to calculate the bulk modulus of a material. But I couldn't find it any where, please let me know where and how I can find that and use it to calculate for the bulk mo
