I don't know what to suggest.

If the issue were the size of the wfc file ( I don't know why it should be though ) you can run the  postprocessing code using more processes , this will split the .wfc file in as many files as the number of mpi processes.

other thing one can try is to run scf with wf_collect set to false and disk_io set to high and see if pw is able to write the .wfc files that then could be read directly by the pp code ( which in this case must be executed with the same number of processes as pw )

Dear Pietro and Lorenzo,

Thanks so much for your prompt response, I really appreciate it. Here are my answers to your questions: - Pietro, thanks so much for explaining the process by which the .wfc1 file gets created, I was obviously confused about it. I checked and, like you said, I have .dat files in the folders corresponding to different k-points in the .save folder. I also don't have a .wfc1 file right after running the scf. So this all looks correct based on what you said. I did not report the error message verbatim, the name of the .wfc1 file is printed correctly in the post processing output. I will copy below my input for the postprocessing code and also the full output I get in case it might help understand the issue.

- Lorenzo, yes, I double-checked and my scf calculation is converged.

I would really appreciate any further suggestion. Once again, I did not experience such issues with smaller supercell so maybe that gives us a clue to what the issue is? I  am copying below the scf input, the PP input and the PP output with the error message.

Thank you so much!

All the best,
Martina

    Are you sure the calculation is converged? If it stops because the
    a max number of iterations has been reached (check the output
    carefully, or is not obvious) the wfc file won't be created,
    unless you set disk_io to some higher value (medium or high, I'm
    not sure). Of course the real problem would be that the scf does
    not converge.

        Dear all,

        I am running some simulations of defects in MoTe2 slabs with
        the goal of plotting the integrated local density of states.
        I have been using different supercell sizes in order to
        simulate different defect concentrations. However, when I use
        a relatively large supercell (5x5), I start incurring the
        problem that the scf run does not seem to print the .wfc1 (it
        only prints the .save folder). Due to the lack of the .wfc1
        file the post processing code crashes with the following
        error message:

             Error in routine diropn (10):
             error opening filename.wfc1

        I am having a hard time understanding the issue since I
        usually get the .wfc1 file when I run an scf using
        wf_collect=.true. on smaller supercells. My only guess is that
        this file is way too large to be printed given that this is a
        relatively large supercell. However, I checked with my cluster
        administrator and there should not be any space issue.
        I am copying below my input file for the scf run that fails to
        print the .wfc1 file (I am running version 5.4 of QE).

        Thank you in advance for your help.

        All the best,
