The stress calculation with hybrid functionals is actually implemented, but there are still some mysterious problems. See: https://gitlab.com/QEF/q-e/-/issues/204

Dear Salma
I don't know how outdated it is, but there is a README in the directory of the EXX examples

/path_to_QE_7.2/PW/examples/EXX_example

reporting this:

  WHAT PROPERTIES CAN I COMPUTE ?
   Energy and forces (thanks to Hellmann-Feynman theorem forces do not
   require extra calculations). In principle also stresses but the
   corresponding formulas have not yet been coded. <-------!!!!!!!
   So structural optimization is OK if the cell shape is kept fixed.

Quoting NAIMI SALMA <[email protected]>:

Dear all,

I'm doing a vc-relax for my material with hybrid functionals and ONCV pseudopotentials.

When the job is done I can't find the optimized final coordinates and lattice parameter in the output file , also I noticed that the final pressure is positive and not close to zero, as bellow:

     Computing stress (Cartesian axis) and pressure

          total   stress  (Ry/bohr**3)                   (kbar) P=      106.49    0.00072391  -0.00000000   0.00000000          106.49       -0.00       0.00   -0.00000000   0.00072391   0.00000000           -0.00      106.49       0.00   -0.00000000  -0.00000000   0.00072391           -0.00       -0.00     106.49


 I repeated the calculation so many times by modifying some input variables but the same problems always occur for PBE0 and HSE as well.


Before the last lines in the output file I find this:

Where this problem is coming from please and how can I fix it?

I attached my input file
