[Pw_forum] Why the calculated equilibrium lattice parameters

Dear Baroni, Thanks a lot for your advice. I want to simulate equation of states for cubic CsI. I considered 5s2 5p6 6s1 as the valence electron configurations for Cs. In the input file of the ld1.x for Cs is: &input title='Cs', zed=55., rlderiv=2.50, eminld=-4.0, ema

Thanks to all of you for the helpful advices. The Cs pseudopotential on pwscf.org considers only one electron. But more electrons should be considered as valence electrons if I want study the characters of Cs under very high pressure. Therefore, I considered the configurations 5s2 5p6 6s

Hi! I understand from Paolo that the PP that he refers to is not the one originally used in our paper. It may be boring to copy by hands, but the form of the PP used therein is reported in the text of the paper. Cheers - Stefano Baroni On Nov 15, 2007, at 11:46 AM, Paolo Giannozzi wrote: >

Dear all, I was using a pseudopotential made by ld1.x to simulate the equation of states. But the equilibrium lattice parameters are much larger than the experiment. No improvements have been achieved although rcut is increased in the pseudopotenitals. Would you please tell me what else c

Dear Yan Li, please let us know which system are you studying, as well as more details on your calculation. The behavior you observed may depend on your pseudopotential, or on some know failure of dft, or on many other reasons. Also, please do not forget to include your affiliation in the s
