[QE-users] The error when running MD simulation with ensemble_DFT

2019-04-24 Thread 陆海林
Dear all, When I try to run MD simulation with ensemble_DFT by cp.x,it’s hard to convergence. The ensemble-DFT (eDFT) is a method to simulate the metals in the framework of "ab-initio" molecular dynamics. As far as I know,it’s a method of BOMD. Due to my system contains Fe atom, I test

Re: [QE-users] fft order too large

OK, sorry, my bad. First of all, the number of states has of course nothing to do with the fft dimension. But I now found a different weird thing: Another input, with the very same structure, except the position of the 2 Pb atoms, is working - well, it gets past the point and at least prints

Dear Paolo, thanks for the suggestion which I also found in the mail archive but I'm also wondering why it was working with older versions of the code but not with newer. Also, I don't understand what should be the problem with the input. Sure, it is a large system, but on the other hand I

Re: [QE-users] fft order too large

2019-04-24 Thread Paolo Giannozzi
There is a check on FFT dimensions exceeding a maximum value of 2049. There is no deep reason for that, just the assumption that such a large value cannot be due to other than a mistake in the input data. You may easily increase that limit (if you really need more than 2049: do you? sure?) by

Jason, if the code says "error opening xml data file", either the data file is not there, or it is there but not readable or it is corrupted. Your version of QE is old and nobody has the time (nor the possibility) to figure out what happens and why. You might locate where the error is issued

[QE-users] Error with SSSP Efficiency (version 1.0) Pseudopotentials

Hello, I am trying to relax the bulk structure of CoI2 with SSSP Efficiency (version 1.0) Pseudopotentials, but met with the following error: "S matrix not positive definite". This might be due to the input structures, but the structure is taken from the COD.cif. I am attaching the input file.

Dear QE Community, Could someone clarify if the following is correct: assume_isolated='2D' implies that the system (2D slab) should be centered around z=0 and the total thickness of the system should be less than half of the Z dimension of the simulation cell. In other words, if Z_dim is the

Dear Julien, I remember that some time ago as I learned about Quantum ESPRESSO I viewed an old conference contribution (from the Quantum ESPRESSO Tutorial recommendations) about DFT+U from Matteo Cococcioni. There he had an example where the calculation of Li0.5FePO4 led to an charge of 2.5 on

Hi, Most probably the proper way to do this change in Sn redox state is to add or suppress some atom in the lattice, or change it for an ion having naturally another valence; this is surely the way in which the mentioned degradation proceeds. Note also that the location of the modified charge

Thank you for your reply ! I tried this strategy fingers crossed, but it didn’t work, as could be expected. On a single unit cell short of 2 electrons, they mostly left from the 3 I atoms (+0.5 each compared to the “normal” case), and just +0.25 for the Sn atom. Furthermore, as I want to
