If your sure there's nothing wrong with your structure or your input parameters, then you can try to add 'nd 1' to your script when you submit it like: pw.x -nd 1 -inp name.rx.in > name.rx.out This worked for me. Laurens Siemons Van: users namens Amin Mirzai

[QE-users] O_ad(O-adsorption) is not binding at bridge position on Pt-surface

2018-04-10 Thread Venkataramana Imandi
Dear QE community, I am a new user of Quantum espresso simulation package. I installed 6.2.1 Quantum espresso in the Linux-X86_64-INTEL-MPI. I want to find out the binding energy of O_ad at various sites(top,bridge,hcp and fcc) on Pt-surface and Pt-Ni alloy surface. In the beginning, i have tried

2018-04-10 Thread Ari P Seitsonen
Dear Venkataramana Imandi, Possibly the bridge site is a saddle point but the symmetry is not perfect, so the symmetry constrain does not fix the atom from moving toward a lower-energy site. I would try arranging the surface so that for example the x axis is the reaction coordinate for diff

Dear Ari, Sorry, I didn't mention that I also tried by fixing coordinate of O_ad at a bridge position. It resulted the Pt atoms moving, in such way that O_ad becomes three-fold site(either fcc or hcp). With best regards Venkataramana Imandi Postdoctoral fellow IIT Madras, India. On Tue, Apr 10,

2018-04-10 Thread Ari P Seitsonen
Dear Venkataramana Imandi, Since you have fixed the lowest layers of the substrate, it sounds quasi impossible that only few layers would have moved that much (the interaction between the layers should be larger than the corrugation of the potential energy surface of the oxygen). Of course

Dear Ari, What shall i do now. The wrong in the input file coordinates or system description. Can you give more hints. Even increasing system size (present 24 atoms to 48 Pt atoms), the results remain same. With best regards Venkataramana Imandi Postdoctoral fellow IIT Madras, India. On Tue, Ap

Thanks Laurens. I have already figured out that in my case this error appears due to digitalization. When I changed the diag. from david to cg and changed the target value or approximation pressure for the cell, I managed to avoid the error. However, I have submitted the way you have suggested.

Dear Venkataramana Try to decrease conv_thr below 1.0e-9 It might be that the one you are looking for is a local minimum with a  small barrier; convergence threshold in &electrons is quite high and your forces may be too inaccurate to stay around the local minimum ( always supposing that your
