Hi everybody,
I did some tests on electron-phonon coupling with PAW PPs and QE v6.7,
using separate ph.x runs for the phonons and the elph with trans=.false.
and electron_phonon='simple'.
The calculation seems to work in general and gives meaningful values,
but sometimes the elph calculation crashes while reading the
prefix.dvscf_paw* files.
During the phonon calculation, the code creates the prefix.dvscf* and
prefix.dvscf_paw* files for some numbers in the range of 1 to <number of
CPUs>, but not for all of them, and so the elph calculation crashes if
it's trying to read a file that has not been created.
My approach in this cases would be to copy the prefix.dvscf_paw1 file to
prefix.dvscf_paw2...<number of CPUs>, because they seem to be identical.
Has anyone else experienced this behaviour? Is my approach correct?
According to the header in PHonon/PH/phonon.f90, PAWs are not supported
for electron-phonon calculations; is that true or is the header not up
to date?
Thanks and kind regards,
