Re: [QE-users] How to describe the covalent interactions

2018-11-26 Thread Premkumar Thirumalaisamy
Hi Charge density and ELF is most preferable to describe the bonding nature and electron sharing between the atoms. From the PDOS, if the electronic states of the atoms are energetically as well as spatially degenerate, there might be possibility of covalent interactions between those atoms. Bond

[QE-users] phonons with vdW functional

2018-11-26 Thread Aleksandra Oranskaia
Hello dear users and developers of QE, I am trying to calculate phonons using very good structure (tightly optimized, matching the experimental one, etc), but whatever I do the result is: %% Error in routine

Re: [QE-users] Relax with electric field cannot converge

2018-11-26 Thread Christoph Wolf
I think there is a typo lelfield = .TURE. , for your convergence issue: run a calc without electric field first, then restart by reading the charge density from file(startingpot='file') with field turn on at a small value (you can play that game several times and increase the value gradually)!

But I'm not sure *PW/tools/cell2ibrav.f90* I tried to recompile with and without adding *PW/tools/cell2ibrav.f90* Hello, do not include that file at all, it's an external tool that's not used here. Just apply the two-line patch to move_ions.f90 cheers -- Lorenzo Paulatto - Paris
