I compute just the total energy for a single H atom, using the last version of PWSCF.

Neverthless I encountered problems when using H.pz-vbc.UPF or the old H.vbc pseudopotential.

The three runs all work on an alpha machine. Perhaps there should be some error in compiling on sp. Does anyone know what is the problem?

IBM sp3 doesn't seem to like allocation of vectors with zero length.

I think that in your case (dual cpu nodes) you simply have to ask for NN=twice the number of nodes you intend to use. 3) If you have a queing system like PBS, then it is more complicated because you have to know which nodes has been assigned to your job. Normally, there should be a way to obtain the node list from the queing system. Hope this helps. If not, please read LAM documentation at http://www.lam-mpi.org/using/docs/ which is very good. giovanni On Tue, 2003-07-08 at 11:56, Sergei Lisenkov wrote: > Dear Giovanni , > > Thank you for your help, I compiled it.

For that I calculate the dynamical matrices at q points in IBZ and then calculate the force constants in real space. I have the force constants for 6x6x6 and 12x12x12 mesh. Then I use the matdyn.f program to calculate the phonon spectrum. With this program for 6x6x6 mesh the phonon spectrum is qualitatively correct but when I use the 12x12x12 mesh, frequencies at many intermediate pts are incorrect. Does anybody have any idea as to why does it happen? With a larger q point mesh, the phonon spectrum should improve, isn't it?

Hello Pushpa, I think it would not necessarily improve: using larger q meshes could introduce spurious high frequency (i.e. long range, for force constants) components to your dispersion. By going from dynamical matrices (reciprocal space) to real space (force constants) then back to q space, you do an FFT interpolation on your original 12x12x12 mesh; if you don't have the same level of convergence (coming from k-points, cutoff etc.) on each of the mesh points, some spurious components will show up as noisy oscillations in your phonon dispersions. I think that people knowing better than me the way matdyn is programmed, could confirm this.

Now I'm trying to calculate phonons of a Ni slab. Only one of the modes won't converge. Number of its iteration is going beyond 100. Worst of all, even after 100 iterations, |ddv_scf|^2 is more than 0.4E+8. The other modes usually converged within 6 or 7 iterations. I don't get any error messages during the phonon calculation. Could any of you who have experience with phonon calculation with PWSCF advise me about this trouble? What could be the reason? Obviously the structure relaxation was done completely for phonon calculation. The residual forces in the slab are very low. Just another question: Is there any way to know the frequencies of the already converged modes in PWSCF? Or is it impossible? Thanks a lot!

By default alpha_mix=0.7 and for surface (supercell) calculations it should be of order of 0.1 (at least, not 0.7).

Please check for the first two possibilities. As for the latter: the algorithm that search for the Fermi energy is based on bisection and assumes that N(e) is an increasing function of the energy (that is garanteed if the smearing function delta(e) is a positive defined function). MP smearing of order 1 is not positive definite and this can create problems when using a very few k-points (only Gamma in your case). Use some other smearing function. A good choice should be the Marzari-Vanderbilt function that is positive definite and still gives energies that are rather insensitive on the smearing width used (for reasonably small width). all the best , Stefano de Gironcoli Sergei Lisenkov wrote: >Dear PW usaers, > >I got the nezt error: >..... > > ** C tau(120) = ( -0.2454734 -0.5782699 -0.1578424 ) > ** C tau(121) = ( -0.2104009 -0.4205185 0.0000224 ) > ** C tau(122) = ( -0.3857310 -0.5778961 -0.5785966 ) > ** C tau(123) = ( -0.3506644 -0.4200456 -0.7364913 ) > ** C tau(124) = ( -0.3156031 -0.5780257 -0.5786098 ) > ** C tau(125) = ( -0.2805347 -0.4202360 -0.7365173 ) > ** C tau(126) = ( -0.2454747 -0.5782664 -0.5786413 ) > ** C tau(127) = ( -0.3857204 0.1586895 -0.5785945 ) > ** C tau(128) = ( -0.3506562 0.0007500 -0.7364848 ) > ** C tau(129) = ( -0.3155852 0.1585417 -0.5786086 ) > ** C tau(130) = ( -0.2805231 0.0005604 -0.7364983 ) > ** C tau(131) = ( -0.2104035 -0.4205188 -0.7365369 ) > ** C tau(132) = ( -0.2454504 0.1583169 -0.5786375 ) > ** C tau(133) = ( -0.2103922 0.0002775 -0.7365495 ) > ** C tau(134) = ( -0.4207937 -0.4199813 0.0000914 ) > ** C tau(135) = ( -0.4207879 0.0008623 0.0000849 ) > ** C tau(136) = ( -0.4207882 0.0008632 -0.7364904 ) > > number of k points= 1 gaussian broad.

I used the MKL 5.2 and MKL 6.0 (for Paolo: Firstly I got the beta version of mkl6.0, but recently I got whe full MKL6.0 without restrictions). But I found that PWscf compiled with ATLAS works fastly than with MKL. May be, the version 5.1 is better than 6.0 ( I don't know). Sergey
