Re: [QE-users] Is it possible to self-define nuclear charge for a pseudopotential?

Dear Jingyang, If I remember correctly there is one example (B-doped diamond) in the EPW folder that uses VCA- might help to look at this. There is also a routine (virtual.x) but I have never used it. HTH! Chris -- Postdoctoral Researcher Center for Quantum Nanoscience, Institute for Basic

Dear Shuham, After modifying maxter from 100 to 300, you should recompile ph.x (type make in folder PHonon/PH) as I can see the loop stopped after 100 iterations. Adding to those comments from Dr. Mattioli and Dr. Wolf, you may want to reduce 'alpha_mix' to get better convergence. H.T.H

On top of this: 1) Did you relax your system with pw.x (calculation='relax')? In order to have meaningful frequencies and smooth convergence with DFPT you should stay very close to the energy minimum. 2) ecutwfc = 60.0 It might be too low for your norm-conserving B pseudopotential. Have

At first glance your system is 2-dimensional but you sample out-of plane for ph.in (q3=3). try an appropriate q-mesh such as 3x3x1, 5x5x1, ... You can see that the convergence problem occurs at a q-point that is out of plane: q = ( 0.000 0.000 0.1059000 ) HTH,

Dear Karolina, Giuseppe et co, Indeed the "standard solution" has been to switch off the test and continue the calculation, yielding the intensities calculated with LDA (the frequencies are consistent with the ground-state calculation, GGA that is). Just last week I discussed with one

Dear Karolina AFAIK gradient corrections have been never "officially" implemented in ph.x RAMAN calculations and you are stuck at LDA level. I saw Ari Seitsonen's slides you mention (I suppose), and in the last slide there is actually this caveat Limitations: Beyond LDA only with

Respected Sir/Ma'am I was doing phonon calculation for a supercell and I encountered with a problem that the calculations did not converge as the maximum iteration was till 100 only. I tried changing the maxter from 100 to 300 but all in vain. This all was for phonon calculation. So can you
