Re: [QE-users] Different implementations of the Hubbard 'U' between QE and VASP

Nicola, Sorry for the barrage of messages but it seems like I found the origin of this odd behaviour. Even though the band structures show very good agreement (barring the band gap), the contribution of orbitals is different near VB and CB edges - I did a fatbands calculation on QE and then on

Nicola, Sorry to bring up the subject again but I still can't reconcile something. I understand that 'U' is not universal and not completely portable between different PPs. But what I find odd is the effect of 'U'. On QE (with NCPP), 'U' seems to suppress the band gap whereas in VASP (with PAW),

Dear experts, I have just started BOMD calculations using the QE package. 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

Iurii is perfectly right: U is not a portable parameter. This being said, it seems to me strange that two calculations performed with different approaches but with the same value of U may yield opposite results. It seems to me more likely that one of the two calculations is not correctly set up.

Dear Neelam Swarnkar What do you mean when you say "correct band gap"? A literature experimental value? A literature calculated value? In the former case, the compatibility depends on the exchange-correlation functional you use. There is plenty of literature on this, you just have to type
