Dear Michal, it depends on how smooth is the dependences of the forces on the cutoff, so one should make an informed decision depending on the pseudopotentials used. We e.g. look at phonon frequencies as a function of cutoff, and if you look at silicon, here below, even if we didn't test

[QE-users] Neb restart only working depending on prefix

2019-05-20 Thread Ayestaran Latorre, Carlos
Hello, I was fiddling with the example01 provided for neb.x. The script provided 'run_example' includes three NEB calculations, the last of which uses an input file called 'asymmetric_H2+H.in'. I was noticing that this very last calculation was working weirdly if I run it first from scratch

Dear Nicola, I am looking forward to reading the "short thing on this"! Can you comment on the widespread (?) practice of using much lower than recommended (say, 2/3 or 1/2) ecutwfc for geometry optimization until a minimum is found, and then increasing cutoffs until convergence is achieved? Is it

[QE-users] negative phonons in LiC6 when switching to GGA pps

2019-05-20 Thread Михаил Петров
Hello, I am calculating phonons for monolayer LiC6. When I use LDA pseudopotentials I get the correct result but when I switch to GGA I get a negative phonon branch at the high symmetry point M (hexagonal lattice) and its vicinity. I anticipated different behaviour around the Gamma point but

Re: [QE-users] GIPAW, SIGSEGV error

Dear Ivo, I'm investingating the problem. It might be due to missing AE information in one of the pseudopotentials. I will try to fix the problem by obtaining the kkpsi array from other fields of the pseudopotential type. D. On 5/17/19 2:48 PM, Ivo Batistic wrote: Hi to QE & GIPAW
