[QE-users] projection of DOS and related quantities over specific axes

2021-09-05 Thread Fabrizio Cossu
Dear users and developers,I have a question which involves both QE and its interface with Wannier90. If one calculates the orbitally-projected DOS for a given cell with vectors a1, a2, a3, the projwfc.x routine projects along the axes x, y, z. However, I am not sure whether a different set of

Dear Malathe, isn't CoP orthorhombic? In that case, I'd use ibrav=8, specify celldm(1-3) then place the atoms as Co 0 0 0 P .5 .5 .5 On Sun, 10 May 2020 at 23:42, Malathe Khalil wrote: > Greetings > I am trying to optimize CoP (B31) orthorhombic unit cell with the > following specifications :

Dear Chris and Paolo, I experienced slightly different behaviour between the inclusion or not of vdw-d. I'm using QE 6.3, on a layered material with vdW bondings between layers. I would think such behaviour is normal, as vdW corrections modify the distance between layers, hence the expansion of

Dear QE Users, I'm calculating the band structure of NbP, and I successfully run up to the 'nscf'. However, with bands.x I get the following error message (see also attachment): *** [...] MPI processes distributed on 3

Dear Quantum ESPRESSO users, I'm trying to compute the phonon dispersion of bulk and single layer NbSe2. While I succeed for the single layer, I fail for the bulk. I have read previous posts about this issue and tried to reduce alpha_mix, but the non-convergence just moves from one mode to

Dear users of Quantum ESPRESSO, I have two questions. 1. I would like to obtain the values of the phononic dispersion on the Brillouin zone (instead of just along some high symmetry lines). I know that in the matdyn.x input I can specify the coordinates either in cartesian or in
