[QE-users] Installing on Mac

2018-12-25 Thread Mehmet ERDEM
I have troubles installing quantum espresso to the Mac. I currently use the last version, I even used previous versions in linux. When I try to configure, it says you need Fortran compiler which is expensive in Mac, whereas it is free in linux. Mehmets-MacBook-Pro:qe-6.3 ERDEM$ ./configure

[QE-users] 'q not allowed' error in phonon dispersion calculations

2018-12-25 Thread jibiaoli
Dear all, I'm trying to calculate the phonon dispersion for Selenium as suggested in the example files. I ran successfully the ph.x code for the input 2. However, when I was trying to get the force constants in real space by using the q2r.x code, I keep getting the following error:

HiI think it is good enough with nearly 1% error. Regards David On Tuesday, December 25, 2018, 7:06:01 AM GMT+3:30, Gui Wei <201707021...@cqu.edu.cn> wrote: Hi, When optimizing the lattice constant of bcc Fe,the result is a=2.830A, which is in disagreement with experimentally

Hi, Dear Gui Wei, Using the PBE functional, the lattice constant of bcc Fe is supposed to be smaller than experimental value.Please take a look at https://molmod.ugent.be/deltacodesdft. Wien2K gives 2.831 A. PSlib and GBRV give some value around 2.834.And, PBE

cutoff might be too small for a reliable computation of the stress. other than that I see no big issue in your input stefano On 25/12/18 04:35, Gui Wei wrote: Hi, When optimizing the lattice constant of bcc Fe,the result is a=2.830A, which is in disagreement with experimentally derived
