Dear QE users,
I hope there is anybody who has experience with the output generation for yambo
in case of hybrid functionals, especially for TDDFT.
Usually one does a scf and a subsequent nscf calculation in pw.x. The nscf
calculation, however, is not possible in the case of hse. So I’m using the
output from the scf calculation with the input posted below.
In principle, the developers from yambo don’t see a problem doing a TDDFT
calculation on top of hybrid functional calculation but have either not yet
really tried it.
My problem is that the output does apparently not provide all input for yambo
that is needed as information on the reciprocal lattice vectors is missing (RL
vectors (WF):0)
<---> :: Electrons : 68.00000
<---> :: Temperature [ev]: 0.000000

<---> :: K-points : 38

<---> :: RL vectors (WF):0
<---> :: RL vectors (CHARGE): 67681
<---> :: XC potential : HSE06(XC)

<---> :: Max atoms/species : 6
which is probably the reason for the tddft run to stop, though p2y works
without complaining.
Here’s the input I used in pw.x:
&control

restart_mode='from_scratch',

pseudo_dir = '/scratch/michaelf/work/input/qe/',

Maybe there is someone who knows more about this? Is there a possibility to
provide the same output to yambo from a hse run as from a scf—>nscf DFT run? As
far as I know there shouldn’t be much of a difference in the format of the WF
and in principle it should be possible?!
