Dear Jibiao,

what Pascal wrote is a first source of problems in your input - in fact the distance between the different CO molecules of the repeated unit cells is quite small with only ~5 A. Furthermore, please correct me someone if I'm wrong, but if you want to use exact exchange (you specify exxdiv_treatment) you also need to use it by setting "input_dft". And I also think that pz is along the z axis and thus along the bond of your molecule... And have you checked convergence with cutoff? And other pseudos?

Regards

Thomas

Hello,

I may be wrong but your input file looks strange: you have an isolated molecule (CO) but you specify 6 as a Bravais lattice and a mesh of k-points.

I would choose ibrav=0, kpoint=gamma, assume_isolated=… , and a big box to be sure the molecule is isolated. Perhaps you will get better results with these options…(?)

HTH,
Pascal

Dear QE developers,

Here I am reporting a big bug in Quantum Espresso. QE 6.1 and 5.1 yield completely different pdos for a simple CO molecule. The results from QE 5.1 are completely wrong, because 2px and 2py associated with 1pi orbitals should not be splitted into three levels. These outcomes are impossible for DFT calculations. The results from QE 6.1 is also unsatisfying;the 2pz states should not be populated at a deep level below -28 eV?
