Hello, I know this was discussed here before, but I still haven’t found a satisfactory solution. Can someone share a nontrivial working example of an SCF calculation of a periodic solid with TB09? If I start “from scratch”, SCF diverges. Previously it was suggested to start from a density

Yes, but you have to compile espresso linking manually the libxc library Then just specify "tb09" in the input_dft parameter inside the namelist of the input file (in a Plane Wave calculation) Bests, Lorenzo On 07/05/20 14:26, Sohail Ahmad wrote: Dear QE users, I wish to know if TB-mBJ

For future reference, I report here the explanation and workaround by Lorenzo Paulatto that seems to work in this case: "The phonon code checks if modes are degenerate by symmetrizing a random matrix and checking if the eigenvalues are the same. For sufficiently large systems there are going to

Dear Debashrito Deb and QE friends, MPI is used to run calculations in parallel on multiple cores/threads/processors or whatsoever. Probably it is only on cores/processors, I’m not sure. MPI is usually used in computer clusters and the like. Probably not something you have easy access to. MPI

Dear experts, I am pretty naive to Quantum Espresso and QM/MM calculations. I have installed the package and I am using Cygwin as the running platform. I wanted to try the NEB calculations and decided to run the example file. *But once I was running it I got an error saying, MPI command not found.

I found that for QE version 6.3.0 and 6.4.1, the cp.x command does not work properly when I run it parallel and increase/decrease the number of cores. I have run the same input from scratch, but the results are core dependent! Hello, you should provide an example that does not work, and the
