Any help will be greatly appreciated. Basically I want to calculate both IR and Raman spectra for a crystal (no metal atom). However, it seems this type of calculations is not supported for most pp from qe's website. So I am trying to convert some pp from abinit. I used the "fhi2upf.x" from qe, For example, "fhi2upf.x 06-C.LDA.fhi". However, during the converting I was asked to input the lable and occupancy for the wavefunctions which are not listed in fhi file. Can anyone give me some hint how to identify these information from a fhi pp? For example for 06-C.LDA.fhi pp, the l max is 3. Inside there are 4 wavefunctions which I think supposed to be l=0,1,2,and 3. But for l=3, it will be a "f" orbital. 4f orbital for C atom? I don't think my guess is correct. And after I generate the pp, what kind of simple calculation is the best way to test the pp to make sure it is correct? Again, thanks for any help.

If you have 6 kinds of atoms, you should have a ?starting_magnetization? key for each atom. Beside, you should consider increase the ?starting_magnetization? (maybe to 1.0) of the Fe atoms in order to breaks the symmetry and setting to 0 for the non-magnetic ones (C, O, H). Are you sure that ?ecutwfc=30? is enough to describe oxygen atoms. Best. Arles V.

I'm trying to construct a PW91 PP for a Z=5/4 pseudo hydrogen atom. I've studied the tutorials that I've been able to find and also the write-up on LD1 in the recently-released QE 5.0 package. Here is the input file that I'm using: &Input title='PW91 PP for Z=5/4 Pseudo-Hydrogen', zed=1.25, iswitch=3, nld=3, rlderiv=1.20, eminld=-0.5, emaxld=0.5, deld=0.002, rel=0, dft='pw91', verbosity='high', config='1s1.25' / &Inputp zval=1.25, pseudotype=3, file_pseudopw='H.pw91-rrkj-van-125.UPF', lloc=-1, rcloc=1.20, nlcc=.false., author='VicBermudez' / 1 1S 1 0 1.25 0.00 1.20 1.20 --------------------------------------------- and here is the error message that results ----------------------------------------- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% from ld1_readin : error # 1 wrong nuclear charge zed: 1.25 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% stopping ... If, in place of zed=1.25, I use atom='H', I get a message complaining about a conflict between the input charge (1) and the computed charge (1.25). In spite of a previous forum exchange indicating that the presently-available PZ PPs are adequate for pseudo-Hs in GGA calculations, I would nevertheless like to generate one of my own as a learning experience. Can someone please point me in the right direction ? Thanks, Vic Bermudez Victor M. Bermudez Code 6876 U.S. Naval Research Laboratory 4555 Overlook Ave., S.W.

However the zed variable is indeed a real number, so maybe the functionality is there but it has never been tested, or not tested for 20 years. If you know what are doing and how to test it, you can open file atomic/src/ld1_reading.f90 and at line ~240 remove all the checks about zed being integer and similar and recompile the code.

This solution requires a bit of work but if you can find a good center you can then forget about it. Another solution, which requires less work at the beginning but more in the end, is to define your fft grid by hand in order to make the fractional translation commensurate with it. See the keywords nr1,nr2,nr3 (all three of them must be defined) and notice that the automatic size of the grid is printed as e.g.: G cutoff = 150.5174 ( 18355 G-vectors) FFT grid: ( 25, 25, 72) which would mean nr1=25, nr2=25, nr3=72. In your case, you need all of them to be even, i.e. set nr1=28, nr2=28, nr3=72. Remember that: 1. you should not make nr* smaller than the automatic ones; 2. nr* with large prime factors like 13 usually do not work because of the FFT algorithm (or are very inefficient). The problem, in this latter case, is that every time you change the cutoff, or the cell you need to remember to change nr1* accordingly or you will get garbage. bests -- Lorenzo Paulatto IdR @ IMPMC/CNRS & Universit?

Further, according to my experience, even for AMD machine, ifort+MKL provide higher efficiency than PathSclae+AMCL, this may be mainly caused by the missing of FFTW (only FFT) in AMCL. Of course, I have not tested every possibility, hope you can find better compiler and math-libraries combination in AMD platform. -- GAO Zhe CMC Lab, Materials Science & Engineering Department, Seoul National University, South Korea At 2012-06-05 17:11:03,Arturo wrote: Now it gives me another error: mpif90 -O3 -ftpp -D__FFTW -D__MPI -D__PARA -I../include -I../../iotk/src -I../../Modules -I. -c cglib.f90 real(DP) :: zmat( MAXVAL(descla(:)%nrlx), nudx, nspin ), fmat( MAXVAL(descla(:)%nrlx), nudx, nspin ), fdiag( nx ) ^ openf95-870 openf90: ERROR CALCMT, File = cglib.f90, Line = 25, Column = 25 The intrinsic call "MAXVAL" is not valid in a specification expression. real(kind=DP) z0( MAXVAL(descla(:)%nrlx), nudx, nspin ) ^ openf95-870 openf90: ERROR ROTATE, File = cglib.f90, Line = 102, Column = 28 The intrinsic call "MAXVAL" is not valid in a specification expression.

A couple of threads in April 2011 mentioned that TDDFPT worked only for Gamma point. That's the case with earlier version of Quantum Espresso. Just wondering if the k-points algorithm has been implemented in the TDDFPT that is interfaced with the latest Quantum Espresso 5.0? The lr_readin.f90 shows a comment that "K-points implemented but still unsupported (use at your own risk!)". However, if k-point is used, the calculation stops right away with an iosys error message: k-point algorithm is not tested yet. I would like to calculate UV-vis for an extended system.

I did not know that was normal. Now to my problem. I am trying to evaluate the electron-phonon coupling in GaAs using the EPW code. EPW requires the deformation potential and the dynamical matrix (DM) evaluated at all the points in the IBZ. For polar semiconductor like GaAs, the LO-TO splitting is not correctly evaluated at the Gamma point. The correct splitting can be evaluated separately by adding the non-analytic term. This i understand. What i am trying to find out is whether the DM & deformation potential can be evaluated so that it includes the effect of additional non-analytic term. I hope this more coherent!

Message-ID: Dear QE users and developers, This issue has already been raised before, but no matter how many times I read the available info I cannot conclude what is the final answer to it. So, I kindly ask you to go back to this subject, once and for all. In a previous post to the pw_forum ( http://www.democritos.it/pipermail/pw_forum/2011-February/019281.html) it was suggested that the several columns present in the "X.pdos_atm#1(X)_wfc#Y(d_j2.5)" file were directly related to the eigenvalues of J^2 and Jz, that is, the total angular momentum quantum number "j" and its projection "m_j" (j, m_j). So the header line could be interpreted as: # E ldos (5/2,-5/2) (5/2,-3/2) (5/2,-1/2) (5/2,+1/2) (5/2,+3/2) (5/2,+5/2) However, the in-place documentation on espresso-5.0/PP/src/atomic_wfc_nc_proj.f90 ( http://qe-forge.org/scm/viewvc.php/trunk/espresso/PP/src/atomic_wfc_nc_proj.f90?view=markup&root=q-e&pathrev=8404), suggests otherwise: ! If lspinorb=.TRUE. it makes linear combinations of eigenstates of ! the atomic total angular momenta j and j_z; otherwise, of eigenstates of ! the orbital angular momenta l, l_z and of s_z (the z-component of the spin). The "Orbital Order" entry on the INPUT_PROJWFC documentation ( http://www.quantum-espresso.org/wp-content/uploads/Doc/INPUT_PROJWFC.html#id485086, by the way, there's a minor typo regarding dxy) further strengthens the "linear combination hypothesis". From where I stand, it seems to suggest that the order is actually something like: # E ldos "(5/2,+1/2)+(5/2,-1/2)" "(5/2,+1/2)-(5/2,-1/2)" "(5/2,+3/2)+(5/2,-3/2)" "(5/2,+3/2)-(5/2,-3/2)" ...the same for m_j=+-5/2... where the + and - operation between eigenstates means (loosely) "linear combinations". I hope I was clear enough while presenting the issue. Maybe, if I could read FORTRAN, I'd be able to figure it out for myself. But I can't, and that's why I'm asking for you help. I also suggest that whatever answer we come up to in this thread should be written explicitly on INPUT_PROJWFC in order to prevent this issue from surfacing again in a few months. So, for once and for all, are those the columns related to the eigenstates of J^2 and Jz or to their linear combinations? Thanks in advance!

Therefore, you can do a batch of "vc-relax" tasks with different press and gather the final volume and total energy to fit EOS.

There is currently some confusion in the files used by the phonon package, due to the presence of two different file formats (old-style and xml-style), files with different contents (dynamical matrix at a given wave vector, force constants in real space) and different ways to specify the structure (ibrav/celldm vs lattice vectors).

If it is a simple cubic structure, just calculate E(V) for various values of the lattice parameter a=celldm(1); if it is cubic but atomic positions are not fixed by symmetry, you should perform a structural optimization ("relax") at each V; if it is noncubic, the simplest procedure is to perform a variable-cell optimization ("vc-relax") at fixed volume (cell_dofree="shape") at each V.

Is this the "rigid-band model"? no: in the "rigid-band model", you have a fixed band structure, you move the Fermi energy.

However, I could not obtain convergence for my system. Prior to this, I calculated the adsorption energy of hydrogen on the calcium decorated graphene sheet with pbe pseudopotential using the 'relax' calculation. The adsorption energy calculated from this latter case was in agreement with another study conducted on the same system. Then I used the final coordinates of the relaxed structure, and plugged it into the new input file for the van der Waals functional case and for some reason the calcium atom and the hydrogen molecules moved further away from the graphene sheet and the total energy of the system did not converge. I assumed that the relaxed structure obtained from the pbe pseudopotential case would have been similar to the relax structure of the van der Waals functional case. But this does not seem to be true according to my output file. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I did incorrectly and how I should fix this?

We have learned [Phys. Rev. B 80, 235431 (2009)] using fully potential linearized augmented plane wave techniques (FPLAPW: Wien2k, FLEUR) that spin-orbit coupling leads to band gap opening in graphene at K-point of about 24 micro eV. If d-orbitals are not taken into account the band gap shrinks below 1 micro eV. The band gap I have obtained by using QE v5.0 and generating a fully relativistic pseudopotential with ld1.x for Carbon atom is 0.96 micro eV, which agrees well with FPLAPW techniques when d-orbitals are not considered. Is it possible to generate fully relativistic pseudopotential for Carbon atom which would include effects of d-orbitals for spin-orbit coupling induced band gap in graphene?

However, they do not need to be PAW, but they must include GIPAW data for wavefunction reconstruction. Even if they are PAW, the keyword use_paw_as_gipaw must have been specified at generation time in order to have the reconstruction data stored in the file. If you have some PAW dataset without reconstruction data, it is trivial to regenerate them with the data. Even if you don't have the ld1.x input file, all the necessary input variables are in the file's header. bests -- Lorenzo Paulatto IdR @ IMPMC/CNRS & Universit?

I suppose you are performing a "vc-relax" calculation instead of a "wc-relax" one, which could be something more exotic... You are trying to optimize the lattice parameters of your crystal; some additional convergence criteria should be satisfied (e.g., some target pressure...). You may try first a simple "relax" calculation, if you want to perform a "fast&clean" run.

Let us suppose we are calculating The formation heat (aka formation enthalpy, DeltaH_f) of wurtzite ZnO. First of all, what is it the formation enthalpy? Suppose that we are not very rigorous, we may say "the energy gained to form ZnO from Zn and O in their standard state". We may consider therefore this chemical process: Zn(metal)+O2(gas)-->ZnO(wurtzite) How can we calculate such an energy? Well, all chemical "Delta" quantities are defined as a difference between some final state quantity (free energy, enthalpy, ...) and the related initial state quantity. If we consider negligible the PV contribution to the above chemical process (H = U+PV), we can estimate formation heats as differences of total energies calculated in supercells: DeltaH_f (ZnO) = E(ZnO) - E(Zn) - E(O2) You must only be sure that the number of atoms in all the supercells is fully consistent with your calculation: ZnO(wurtzite): 4 atoms (2 ZnO units) Zn(metal, hcp): 1 atom O2 molecule: 2 atoms Your final equation is therefore DeltaH_f (ZnO) = E(ZnO) - 2*E(Zn) - E(O2) Modify it according to your purpose...

I noticed that even when I provide an explicit list of k points (e.g. with K_POINTS crystal or even K_POINTS crystal_b for a band structure) pw.x increases the number of k points. Example: I want to plot the bands on a line and I use K_POINTS {crystal_b} 2 0. 0. 0. 50. 0.5 -0.5 0. 50. With force_symmorphic=.false. I get 51 K-points as expected; with force_symmorphic=.true. I get instead 100 K-points (from Gamma to (1/2,-1/2,0) and then back again from Gamma to (-1,-1/2,-1/2) without the start and end point). Is this the intended behavior, or should the list of K points be modified only for K_POINTS automatic?

"force_symmorphic" just removes the symmetry operations having an associated fractional translation from the list of allowed symmetries. Any change in the number of k-points, if any, is a consequence of the reduced symmetry of the system. > Is this the intended behavior, or should the list of K points be > modified only for K_POINTS automatic? hard to say what the "intended" behavior is: there isn't any. That option was added (by me) in order to allow PWscf to produce data for other codes (don;t remember which ones) that do not implement nonsymmorphic symmetry groups.

Indeed, I am using Yambo which requires that flag. The point is that Andrea Marini and I are working on a Wannier90 interface for Yambo. While for the generation of the automatic grids the increased number of k points is perfectly ok, the problem arises when we have to generate the full k grid that is needed by Wannier90. In this case, in fact, if for instance I specify the 64 k points for a 4x4x4 grid in the nscf calculation, and I leave the force_symmorphic flag set to true, QE will calculate the band energies on 136 k points instead. Of course for this nscf calculation I can simply remove the force_symmorphic flag, I was just wondering if it could make more sense not to increase the number of k points if they are given as an explicit list (but maybe there are cases for which instead this is the intended behavior).

Only zero-temperature DFT is implemented in QE (as well as in many other similar packages). For reasonably low temperatures (up to the typical melting temperature of typical materials and above, but still well below the Fermi temperature) this is deemed to be a very good approximation. In this regime, thermal effects only affect the nuclear motion, which can be dealt with in the QHA or using AIMD. Still, QE uses the concept of "electronic temperature" (or smearing) to deal with with Fermi-surface effects and Brillouin-zone sampling, but this should be regarded more as a numerical device, than as a way to deal with thermal excitations of the electronic degrees of freedom. As always, a proper signature of the posts, including an affiliation, is considered a sign of politeness and is therefore highly appreciated in this forum.

However, when I compared the binding energy of hydrogen for 'relax' and 'vc-relax', I noticed a considerable difference (vc-relax values were ~40% lower than relax values) in energy values. In theory, the vc-relax case should be more accurate, but is that a correct assumption or is it more realistic to go with the values obtained from the 'relax' case? Best regards, Janet Wong Graduate student University of Toronto, Canada ________________________________ From: Janet Wong Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2012 4:06 PM To: pw_forum at pwscf.org Subject: vdw-DF study for calcium decorated graphene Dear QE users, I am currently trying to calculate the adsorption energy of hydrogen on calcium decorated graphene using the van der Waals functional. However, I could not obtain convergence for my system. Prior to this, I calculated the adsorption energy of hydrogen on the calcium decorated graphene sheet with pbe pseudopotential using the 'relax' calculation. The adsorption energy calculated from this latter case was in agreement with another study conducted on the same system. Then I used the final coordinates of the relaxed structure, and plugged it into the new input file for the van der Waals functional case and for some reason the calcium atom and the hydrogen molecules moved further away from the graphene sheet and the total energy of the system did not converge. I assumed that the relaxed structure obtained from the pbe pseudopotential case would have been similar to the relax structure of the van der Waals functional case. But this does not seem to be true according to my output file. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I did incorrectly and how I should fix this?

Message-ID: Hello, I'm doing a series of geometry optimizations and getting the following message at the end of some of the cycles: "SCF correction compared to forces is large: reduce conv_thr to get better values" Nevertheless, I do get geometry convergence. My convergence thresholds for energy change and for force are set at 1x10^-5 Ryd and 5x10^-4 Ryd/bohr respectively. I was initially using an SCF threshold of 10^-6 and got a converged energy of -19481.9686847279 Ry. I then changed the SCF threshold to 10^-7 and got an energy of -19483.4930127462 Ry at the end of optimization. Clearly a threshold of 10^-6 is inadequate since changing to 10^-7 has a big effect. Here is my question. When I further reduce the threshold to 10^-8 I get essentially the same energy (-19483.4930127352 Ry) as for 10^-7, but I still get messages about the correction being too large. Upon convergence (at a 10^-8 SCF threshold) the message gives: Total force = 0.001688 Total SCF correction = 0.000449 If I'm getting nearly-identical final energies for SCF thresholds of 10^-7 and 10^-8, is there really still a problem at 10^-8 ?

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4FE416DC.9060202@sissa.it> Dear Victor M. Bermudez, tha code says that the force correction due to lack of self-consistencey is of comparable size to the total force you calculate so its precise value should not be trusted to that level... you should further reduce the scf convergence threshold and the total scf correction should correspondingly decrease to a safer level. however 10^-3 is already a quite small total force so not much should change in the results and this firther relaxation should be fast. you could also check the use of the "upscale" variable for structural relaxation that should do this automatically. stefano On 06/22/2012 12:59 AM, Vic Bermudez wrote: > Here is my question.

In particular almost every intel compiler (except a.f.a.i.k 12.0.0, and 11.0.0) and mkl libraries; the most recent gfortran versions, every g95 version (albeit, slowly); almost every ibm compiler version and relative essl libraries (sometiems after editing the make.sys a bit); a few and well apart versions of the sun/oracle compiler; the official very expensive releases of the pathscale compiler (the freely available "snapshot" are just crap); the amd supported open64 compiler... I think your problem (from the previous email) is somewhere in your configuration. For example, you should not compile QE as root. Unluckily there is very little we can do to help you, as you did not provide any information of the error you get (i.e. attach the entire output file instad of just pasting one line) and you omit the exact version of the ifort compiler. As you are getting the same errors with the ifort and gfortran configuration I can *guess* that the error may be something trivial, e.g. the pseudopotentials not being downloaded correctly. But please, send us the complete output of the relative errors to would be make it much easier to find out. The outputs are in the result/ subdirectory for the examples; for test XXX the output is written in a file called XXX.out in the same directory. bests regards, and good work -- Lorenzo Paulatto IdR @ IMPMC/CNRS & Universit?

Message-ID: Dear all, I have installed QE5.0 with xpectra installed. I just tested the diamond example and it runs through. In this example, the diamond is treated as insulator.(Of course!) In the second step, xspectra.x can get the Fermi level of 0.94038144 Ry (12.8 eV). If I set the system as metal with occupation "smearing", the xspectra.x will complained when I try to get the Fermi level. The error message is as below: Metallic case %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% from input : error # 1 Read fermi level from scf/nscf output %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% stopping ... But the Fermi level printed in the scf output file is 15.88 eV. My first question is why the two fermi level value are different so much. Second question is whether xspectra.x can calculate the XAS for metalic system? Thank you in advance. Best, -- Y. C. Cheng Department of Physics Nanjing University Nanjing 210093 P. R.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4FEABF3B.6010905@mater.unimib.it> Dear Cheng, xspectra can handle metal systems: see for example PHYSICAL REVIEW B 80, 075102 (2009) fig.3. The Fermi level is taken as the zero of the spectrum, and might be used to cut and remove the spectrum below E_F. By editing the value of ef_r in input you should obtain the same spectrum, only shifted at different energies. What is the Fermi level for your insulator? Notice, it will depend on the choice of occupation functions. So, probably xspectra was giving you the HOMO, while if you set smearing with gaussian functions you will get something close to (HOMO+LUMO)/2 (depending on occupied/empty DOSs). Indeed your E_F in this case is higher. In principle, for systems at T=0, anything in between the HOMO and the LUMO is reasonable. The resulting spectrum will not change but for the reference energy, it suffices that you do things consistently.

If you are getting some erro, please report which error you get, maybe it has nothing to do with the value of kband.

Carbon, with only valence electrons means 4 electrons for each carbon (you have this information in the pseudopotential file). Then you have to count two electrons (spin up spin down) per band. If your system has 25 electrons then you have 12 bands with two electrons and one band with only 1 electron. You should read a text book on solid state physics such as Ashcroft and Mermin. For input pp.x, if you write kband = 10 , print in xsf format the "orbital" corresponding to this band. Supose you have a molecule like SiH4 -> 8 electrons -> 4 occupied bands. If you run pw.x wihtout nband = .... Then the code computes the energy and wave-functions only for the occupied bands (the 4 occupied bands). Then if you wirte in pp.x input kband=4 it will print the "orbital" called HOMO --> the "last" occupied wavefunction/electronic state. best regards Layla 2012/6/28 Gulcin Tetiker > Thank you.

The method adopted in the automatic generation scheme in Espresso is the Monkhorst-Pack one. I have been reading the file kpoints.f90 in espresso-5.0/PW/tools/ and I went through some of the forum archives http://www.democritos.it/pipermail/pw_forum/2012-February/023321.html to understand this. I think the algorithm follows these lines 1. generate a shifted uniform grid in *crystal space* of *the reciprocal lattice* and associating a weight of 1/(total no: of k points) 2. use symmetry of the reciprocal lattice to reduce the list Here the weights of the eliminated points are accumulated on to the remaining ones This is what I was hoping to find a) Some sort of check that ensures that k points fall within the Wigner-Seitz Cell (first Brillouin Zone). b) During the generation of the k point mesh, the sampling seems to not extend in all quadrants of the crystal space, i.e., I am not able to find negative crystal vectors. I expect them because the Brillouin zone extends in all quadrants. Can someone please explain this to me?
