[QE-users] running error with ubuntu-20.04

2020-05-19 Thread Haider Abbas
Dear all, I was fairly running quantum espresso on the ubuntu 18.04 with the command mpiexec -n 4 ./pw.x < scf.in > out.out on my 4 core pc. Now when I have upgrade my pc to ubuntu 20.04, and when I run the quantum espresso with the same command, it gives me error. haider@HAIDER:~/qe-6.5/bin$

If I understand correctly, you are parallelizing over k points with 32 processors, but you have just 20 k points. As a consequence, in all loops over k-points, 12 processors will do nothing. While I am quite sure that such a wasteful parallelization works anyway for the self-consistent code, I am

[QE-users] BURAI GUI

2020-05-19 Thread Michal Krompiec
Hello, Does anyone have experience with using the Burai GUI on a different machine than the one on which you run QE? Copying the output files into Burai's project directory doesn't work, it seems that something more is required. Best regards, Michal Krompiec / Merck KGaA

Thanks Giuseppe! Indeed, with Oliviero we studied this class of problems (unbound anions, and their absorption on metal slabs). The discussion is here: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.jctc.9b00552 (also on arxiv). In a nutshell, the "correct" bound state is there, but in vacuum the

Re: [QE-users] Charged Convergence Issues

2020-05-19 Thread Giuseppe Mattioli
Dear Robert The calculation does not converge due to delocalization error (see, e.g., Cohen et al., Science 2008, 321, 792), which affect local (LDA) and semilocal (GGA) functionals. The excess electron of COO- is unbound in your DFT description of the system and hinders scf
