Sorry for multiple typos in my last email, which are due to autocorrection on my Mac. I meant "norm-conserving" pseudopotentils in numerous places in my last email.

Let me try to explain for the corn-conserving case, which is simpler. The routine "compute_ppsi" has p - i [x, V_{nl}], where p is the momentum and V_{nl} is the nonlocal part of the pseudopotential. See the right-hand side of Eq. (15) in Phys. Rev. B 33, 7017 (1986). See also Eqs. (8) and (9) in A. Marini, G. Onida, and R. Del Sole, Phys. Rev. B 64, 195125 (2001). So actually the code computes not only the matrix element of the momentum p, but also it contains an extra contribution due to the non-local part of the pseudopotential. In the DFT+U case, there is yet another term given by Eq. (53) in Phys. Rev. B 101, 064305 (2020). Finally, some related discussion about this (how to compute an electron velocity using these "tricks") is given in Sec. 6.1.3(a) of my PhD thesis: https://pastel.archives-ouvertes.fr/pastel-00823758/ HTH Iurii -- Dr. Iurii Timrov Postdoctoral Researcher STI - IMX - THEOS and NCCR - MARVEL Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland +41 21 69 34 881 http://people.epfl.ch/265334 ________________________________ From: users <users-boun...@lists.quantum-espresso.org> on behalf of L Y <xif...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2020 9:15:47 PM To: Quantum ESPRESSO users Forum Subject: Re: [QE-users] Momentum matrix element on PBE+U Dear Lurii, Thank you for the quick response! Did you mean [J. Chem. Phys. 120, 9935 (2004)] by Toby and Dal Corso? I could not find an expression for the momentum matrix element in that reference, I think that reference is only about the extra term involving the ultrasoft pseudopotential? I ask because I have calculated the momentum matrix elements between valence and conduction bands along symmetry lines in MgO. Everything seems OK, except the fact that there is a noticeable discontinuity of the matrix element at the Gamma point. I did extensive debugging, but could find anything wrong (the band energies are fine and continuous without discontinuity). I suspect I need to do something special for the momentum matrix element, but I cannot figure out the expression.

Obviously the PP/src/compute_ppsi.f90 routine is crucial, but I dunno which formula is used there. A reference to a paper would be greatly appreciated!

Is there a way to calculate the momentum matrix element in PBE+U on QE? I encounter this error: 'Error in routine write_p_avg (1): write_p_avg not working with LDA+U'. Is there a way to circumvent this on Quantum Espresso?
