[QE-users] Testing Al PBE pseudo

2020-08-21 Thread Zack Gainsforth
Hello all, I’m having difficulty with testing a pseudo. I started with the Al.pbe-n-kjpaw_psl.1.0.0.in file from the PS Library. I’m using QE installed through synaptic, which is ld1.x version 6.4.1. I also tried this with 6.6 that I downloaded from the website and compiled. In both cases,

I referred this information: https://people.sissa.it/~dalcorso/thermo_pw/user_guide/node9.html But didn't understand the order of running the three files (scf.in, ph_control, thermo_control) On Fri, 21 Aug 2020, 10:12 pm Pooja Vyas, wrote: > I'm just following the method of example 22. > But

I'm just following the method of example 22. But what should be the order of running the three input files? On Fri, 21 Aug 2020, 10:03 pm Andrea Dal Corso, wrote: > There are tutorial, examples and the user's guide with these > information. > Please read these before starting big calculations.

There are tutorial, examples and the user's guide with these information. Please read these before starting big calculations. Note that the computation of temperature dependent elastic constant requires a lot of computational resources and its implementation is still work in progress. Andrea On

Dear Yuvam, You have 3 options: 1) Semi-empirical corrections. DFT-D3(BJ) etc, available directly in QE. Negligible computational cost. My first choice if I don’t want to use ASE (see below). Other pairwise corrections in QE (D2 and TS) are less accurate. DFT-D4 is newer and more accurate, esp.

Dear user, I want to compute elastic constants at various temperatures using thermo_pw. According to the user guide, I made three input files i.e one for pw.x (named it scf.in), second file named phonon_control and third file named thermo_control. I first made a run using the following command,

Dear Yuvam, I am not an expert of vdw interactions. If you don't know it already, there are some examples of vdw calculations with QE in folder 'test-suite/pw_vdw'. Not sure if you'll find what you are looking for, but perhaps you could start by having a look there. Best regards, Fabrizio On Fri,
