Dear Quang,

> starting_magnetization(1) = 0.05, starting_magnetization(2) = -0.05,


You have only one type in your input, while here you specify the starting 
magnetization for two types, which is wrong. Moreover, bulk Si is nonmagnetic 
so you should not specify starting_magnetization. But if you do, then you need 
to uncomment the lines below

!   occupations = ’smearing’, smearing = ’mv’, degauss = 0.01,


> Since qe-7.1, the flag lda_plus_u=.true. is not needed. Input files are below.


You are right


> The HP code can be used only when lda_plus_u=.true.


This will be changed, the message is confusing, we need to update it.


In the documentation Doc/Hubbard_input.pdf on page 15 it is written:

"Hubbard parameters U and V can be computed using the hp.x code of Quantum 
ESPRESSO.

However, the hp.x currently supports the calculations of U and V for one 
Hubbard channel per
atomic type. In other words, the advanced features presented above (i.e. 
cross-manifold inter-
actions) are currently not implemented in hp.x."


So what you want to do cannot be currently done with HP.

Subject: [QE-users] DFT+U+V: The HP code can be used only when 
lda_plus_u=.true. in qe-7.1

Dear All,
I just want to check DFT+U+V for a simple case (before going beyond), Si with 
qe-7.1.
PWSCF runs well. However, the self-consistent U V calculation with hp.x stops 
with the following message
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     Error in routine hp_readin (1):
     The HP code can be used only when lda_plus_u=.true.
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

     stopping ...
Since qe-7.1, the flag lda_plus_u=.true. is not needed. Input files are below.
Can you tell me how to overcome this, please?
Many thanks,
Quang
