Right

In order to check this we would need your input and output files to reproduce 
the error. But as written above, the vc-relax and FR PPs in DFT+U are not 
compatible at present.

This requires a significant amount of work. Our group does not plan to work on 
this in the near term. You can perform this type of calculations using a 
finite-differences approach e.g. using Phonopy.

Subject: [QE-users] (1) QE-7.1 supports SR NCPP, not FR NCPP. (2) phonon does 
not support "ortho-atomic" HUBBARD options

(1)  The same question was reported here 
"https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg42402.html "

Specifically, the vc-relax with HUBBARD U does not support fully relativistic  
NCPP.

     %%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     Error in routine offset_atom_wfc (1):
     Mismatch between the requested and available manifolds
     %%%%%%%%%%%%%%

    The mainly input parameters are:

    calculation   = 'vc-relax'

    HUBBARD {atomic}
    U Ru-4d 4.0

    The fully relativistic NCPP is Ru_ONCV_PBE_FR-1.0.upf.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

    However, when I test the SR pseudopotential, the vc-relax with atomic-type 
Hubbard options works successfully.

There might be some bug here for fully relativistic pseudopotential.


(2) I also tested the GRBV fully relativistic pseudopotential to calculate 
phonon spectrum: ru_pbesol_v1.2.uspp.F.UPF, it works successfully.

    Specifically, I find that only the "atomic" Hubbard option works when 
calculating phonon spectrum, that is "HUBBARD {atomic}", just like the LiCoO2 
case in ./QE/PH/example18 dir with "atomic" Huubard option.

    Sadly, the "ortho-atomic" Hubbard option does not work when calculating 
phonon, and the code reports an error, "The phonon code for this Hubbard 
projectors type is not implemented".

    Acturally, I used HP code to calculate the self-consistent U. The "atomic" 
type calculation would result in much larger U value than "ortho-atomic", the 
difference is about 1 eV. Here, 
http://theossrv1.epfl.ch/Main/DFTHubbard,<http://theossrv1.epfl.ch/Main/DFTHubbard%22,>
 tell us that "the values of U depend strongly on the technical details of 
calculations, and Ortho-atomic orbitals provide more accurate results - maybe 
because if atomic (i.e. non-orthogonal) orbitals are used, the Hubbard 
correction can be added twice in the regions where orbitals overlap."

    So, would it be possible to calculate phonon with "the "ortho-atomic" 
Hubbard option soon ?
