Dear Kai,

A quick reply from my side: The GIPAW method is slow in general, but the execution time does not depend strongly on the number of atoms. Therefore once the big calculation is done, to get the results for each atom is almost a byproduct; thus it would not help much to calculate the results only on fewer atoms.

This is different in the converse NMR method, where the calculation on each atom would take long, but to calculate few atoms is much faster: This is so because there a small magnetic dipole is set on each target atom at a time and then a self-consistent calculation is performed; therefore here the calculation time practically scales with the number of atoms, each calculation being faster than the GIPAW calculation. The implementation of the converse NMR in QE has not yet been finished yet, so it is not in the public release at the moment.

    Greetings,

Hello everyone,

is it somehow possible to use the gipaw module for the calculation of NMR
chemical shifts only on some atoms instead of all atoms in the system?
Thus is there some keyword to restrict the evaluation of the chemical
shifts to specific atoms in order to reduce calculation time?

Best regards,
Kai Trepte
