Re: [Pw_forum] Problems with high ecutwfc for a C H As F S containing compound

2015-11-12 Thread Paolo Giannozzi
BHS (Bachelet-Hamann-Schlueter) may be hard, but the two, S and As, that appear in the list, aren't. H and C are also not especially hard. Flourine is by far the hardest, because 1) 2p states of F are notoriously hard, and 2) HGH (Hartwigsen-Goedecker-Hutter) pseudopotentials are typically hard. An

Dear Stephan If I remember well, the BHS pseudopotentials used to be very hard, even if at 320 Ry you might almost converge all-electron calculations! However, in my opinion, you might try with a small system (e.g., CH4, AsH3 or SF6 with your PPs) to see when the TDDFT or GW results obtained wi

Hi, I have the problem that I want to simulate an organic conductor. I'm looking for convergence of the total energy with respect to the ecutwfc. In the end I want to do optical investigations with the yambo program. As a criterion for convergence I decided to choose a total energy difference o
