[Pw_forum] Problem in average.x

2015-09-22 Thread Huang, Xu
Dear all, I'm using QE to plot the layer-averaged potential for hematite (Fe2O3) surface slabs. I did scf (pw.x) first, then got the potential (pp.x), and finally tried to make layer-averaged potential (average.x) along surface normal. The first 2 steps were successful and finished in ~10

The last time report I quoted is with Hubbard U and this in fact what I typically find in PWscf relaxation calculation. I will send you the two output files offline. Thank you very much for your help! Regards, Mostafa MIT ___ Pw_forum mailing list

Dear Bipul, you are not actually doing a vc-relax calculation, because in your input calculation=relax. However, this is exactly what I would do, at least to start (for example, for a vc-relax calculation I guess that pw.x will try also to optimise the cell size along the z direction, where

Dear Lorenzo and Paolo Sorry if I was not clear. I didn't know about the only hybrid calculation. This means my test is useless. Since I will use on hybrid I would like to check if my approach is correct of it I am doing something wrong. What I was trying to say is that I run a gamma point

[Pw_forum] Reconstruction of Si 001 surface

2015-09-22 Thread Bipul Rakshit
Dear Pwscf users, I want to study the Si 001 surface reconstruction. I am sending the input of 2x1 Si (001) surface. I used 16 Ang Vaccuum between the slabs along z-direction. I am using calculation = 'relax'. In the literature i find that 2x1 reconstruction for Si (001) surface is there. But with
