Hi Zhenyao, I am writing to give some remarks on simulating negatively charged slabs, as I am afraid that the correct answer requires to know what the package “sxdefectalign2d” does exactly (which I don’t). A charged slab that is infinitely periodic along x and y must have an infinite energy.

I fear your enterprise is destined for failure. Performing periodic calculations on charged materials does not converge. They can be made to converge by adding a jellium neutralising background, but I do not think that it has been proven that that is an accurate approach. It's worse for

Dear pwscf users, I am performing some calculations on negatively charged slabs (with one additional electron), and I’m mainly focusing on the energy difference between charged system and neutral system. With ions fixed, I found that the charged system has a higher energy than the neutral

[QE-users] QE6.8: "Slab decomposition and task groups not implemented"

2021-08-16 Thread Sebastian Hütter
Dear developers, after the upgrade to QE 6.8, I receive the following errors at startup: Error in routine fft_type_init (1): Slab decomposition and task groups not implemented. This seems to be from a larger change to the fft lib done with the GPU merge, but I'm not sure what it means for
