Hi Mohsen, I will try as you suggest and see if I can calculate the constants using the second derivative of energy. All the best, Ben > Dear Ben, > If you think you are new in this topic, you need to study more > references. > As you said you have two specific ways. I only share my experienc

Hi, I've read a number of forum posts about calculating elastic constants, but I was hoping someone could give me some advice. (I'm trying to calculate the elastic constants of bcc Iron). From what I have read, there are two ways I could do this: 1) Relax the unit cell with vc-relax, deform

Dear Ben, If you think you are new in this topic, you need to study more references. As you said you have two specific ways. I only share my experience on this subject. The first way is not applicable for super-cell model. For example you can calculate the Youngs moduls of Graphene (which is a 2D

As with any other periodic code, I guess: by calculating the stress response to a given strain. If you go through the QE users' manual, I am pretty sure you will find how to instruct QE to calculate the stress tensor (look how to set the variable "tstress"). A HTH By the way: would you be so kin

Hi all, As far as I understand, PWSCF calculates the stress following Nielsen and Martin, PRL 50, 697 (1985), with expressions updated for ultrasoft pseudopotentials and maybe other thechnical upgrades. In the formalism of Nielsen and Martin, the stress is calculated as a partial derivative of the
