Dear QE user,

Please sign your posts (you name and surname, affiliation).


  *   Because I beginner at Quantum Espressso, so I would appreciate it if you 
could explain it in as much detail as possible!!

Have a look at one of the QE schools, e.g. this one: 
https://indico.ictp.it/event/9616/other-view?view=ictptimetable


  *   Error in routine card_hubbard (3):
  *   Not allowed to specify two Hubbard channels that are the same for the 
same atom

In your input file you have this:
Jo Eu2-4f 1.0

Note that instead of "Jo" you must have "J0".

If this still does not solve all problems, try QE7.2.


  *   Can I know the psudopotential library or source including 4f-orbital of 
Eu atom? I couldn't find that.

Try the SSSP library: 
https://www.materialscloud.org/discover/sssp/table/efficiency

Also, "conv_thr = 1.0d-13" is specified in the wrong namelist. Have a look at 
the QE input generator:

Subject: [QE-users] Problems related to Hubbard potential when vc-relax is 
calculated


Hello,

I have a difficulty in lattice relaxing of the EuTiO3 material with Quantum 
Espresso 7.1 version. EuTiO3 material is antiferromagnetic. Eu atom of this 
material have 4f-shell electrons and spin-polarization. Hence, Hubbard 
potential U & Hund exchange J values are needed to do "vc-relax". Other papers 
also use U&J potentials for optimization of this material, and I will give an 
example of application in one of them.





"Density functional calculations. Our first-principles calculations were 
carried out using the Vienna ab-initio simulation package (VASP)47 with the 
Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof approximation to the exchange correlation functional48. 
Eu 4f electrons were treated with the GGA+U method, using Dudarev’s approach49, 
with U=6.0 eV and J=1.0 eV. Default projector augmented wave pseudopotentials 
were employed. A plane wave cutoff of 500 eV was used and the Brillouin zone 
was sampled using an 8×8×6 k-point grid."



- Multiferroic quantum criticality, 2019, Multiferroic quantum criticality



I intend to follow the method of the above paper almost similarly. But instead 
of VASP program, I use Quantum Espresso. I couldn't search paper following the 
above method with Quantum Espresso.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





But, I checked the following error:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error in routine card_hubbard (3):

Not allowed to specify two Hubbard channels that are the same for the same atom



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Q1) Please let me know how to solve this problem.



Morever, The orbital shell of Eu atom used to Hubbard energy is 4f(since Eu 
orbital valency configuration: 5s2 5p6 4f7 6s2). My pseudopotential of Eu only 
has 5s, 5p & 6s. So. following error occurs:



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error in routine offset_atom_wfc (1):

Mismatch between the requested and available manifolds







using ibrav=0 with symmetry is DISCOURAGED, use correct ibrav instead

Eu pseudopotential contains the orbitals: 5S 6S 5P 6P 5D

Requested Hubbard manifold from the input: 4F



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Q2) Can I know the psudopotential library or source including 4f-orbital of Eu 
atom? I couldn't find that.





Because I beginner at Quantum Espressso, so I would appreciate it if you could 
explain it in as much detail as possible!!



Thank you.
