[QE-users] ibrav number check

2018-11-19 Thread Chan, Edmund 
Dear all users,

I am currently trying to relax a methylammonium lead iodide CH3NH3PbI3 
structure which has tetragonal structure I4/mcm. Thus, in my input file, I 
select ibrav = 7 (body centred teragonal). However, as I visualise the input 
and output on Xcrysden, the unit cell becomes orthorhombic. Why is that?



   title = 'MAPI' ,
 calculation = 'relax' ,
restart_mode = 'from_scratch' ,
  outdir = './' ,
  pseudo_dir = './' ,
  prefix = 'CH3NH3PbI3' ,
/

   ibrav = 7,
   A = 8.83920,
   C = 12.6948,
 nat = 12,
ntyp = 5,
 ecutwfc = 80 ,
   ecutrho = 800,
/

electron_maxstep = 5000 ,
conv_thr = 1.0d-6 ,
 mixing_beta = 0.3 ,
/

ion_dynamics = 'bfgs' ,

[QE-users] Problem when running pw.x relax calculation on supercomputer

2018-11-19 Thread Chan, Edmund 
Dear users,

Did you experience the problem when message says...

pw.x: error while loading shared libraries: libgfortran.so.4: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory.

May I ask how to solve it? It is not a problem regarding submitting the job to 
supercomputer because it succeeded to run initially.

Thank you.

[QE-users] Help: How to optimise lattice c parameter in scf calculation

2018-11-16 Thread Chan, Edmund 
Dear all,

I am currently working on a CH3NH3PbI3 I4/mcm tetragonal structure. I would 
like to optimise the lattice parameter c using scf calculation after optimising 
geometry using relax calculation. I tried to fix celldm(1) and changes 
celldm(3) so that lattice parameter c ranges 10.5-13.5 (true value should be 
about 12.6, sum of Pb-I-Pb-I-Pb) However, calculations still don't show min 
energy within the range. still decreasing when celldm(3) keeps decreasing.

Any solution?

Thanks a lot in advance.

[QE-users] Capability of calculating pw.x on mixed perovskite, e.g. CsSnI(3-x)Br(x)

2018-06-04 Thread Chan, Edmund 
Dear everyone,

First of all, thank you for providing the Quantum Espresso workshop. I am 
wondering if pw.x is able to calculate a mixed material together with a formula 
like, CsSnI3-xBrx when x is between 0 and 1. Could anyone give me a brief 
direction on that, please? Thanks a lot.


Kind regards,

Edmund
