[QE-users] Difference between plot_num = 5 and plot_num = 10 in pp.x

2022-09-09 Thread EMANUEL ALBERTO MARTINEZ
Dear users,

could anyone tell me what is the difference between plot_num = 5 and 10 in
pp.x? I know that the plot_num = 5 is for STM images under the
Tersoff-Hamann approximation, but I do not understand which is the main
difference between the output file for plotting in that case in comparison
to the ILDOS that you can get from plot_num = 10 by defining an energy
range equivalent to the bias set in plot_num = 5.

Thanks in advance
Regards

[QE-users] Ensemble_DFT simulation

2022-09-09 Thread KRISHNENDU MUKHERJEE
Dear expert, 

I determined the lattice constant of Cu from pw.x calculations. Further, 
considering the thermal expansion co-efficient of Cu I determined the lattice 
constant at 300K. However, when I did ensemble_DFT simulation of the structure 
at 300K the pressure is above 600 GPa. Can you please let me know why is the 
pressure so high? Even if the lattice constant is off by, for example, +/- 0.1 
Angstrom, the pressure should not be that high, isn’t it? Is it due to the way 
the emass_cutoff is preconditioned, that we are noticing this high pressure? 

Regards, 
Krishnendu

Re: [QE-users] error of band-structure calculations with tpiba_c

2022-09-09 Thread Lorenzo Paulatto

It looks like there is something wrong with your planewaves grid:

 G-vector sticks info
 
 sticks:   dense  smooth PW G-vecs:    dense smooth  PW
 Sum    4197   0  0 925237    0   0

Which may be caused, or linked to, the fact that your k-points 
coordinates are NaN


    k(    1) = ( NaN NaN NaN), wk =   0.500
    k(    2) = ( NaN NaN NaN), wk =   0.500

This may result from a very strange input, or from some 
incompatibilities from the mathematical libraries you have used to 
compile the code. I see you are using "tpiba_c" but you did not specify 
the weight of the kpoint, which mean you generated a grid of zero 
points. Please fix your input:


tpiba_c :

   Used for band-structure contour plots.
   k-points are in units of  2/pi/a./  nks must be 3.
   3 k-points k_0, k_1, and k_2 specify a rectangle
   in reciprocal space of vertices k_0, k_1, k_2,
   k_1 + k_2 - k_0: k_0 + \alpha (k_1-k_0)+
   \beta (k_2-k_0) with 0 <\alpha,\beta < 1.
   The code produces a uniform mesh n1 x n2
   k points in this rectangle. n1 and n2 are
   the weights of k_1 and k_2. The weight of k_0
   is not used.
