Okay Sir,
            though I know that you are always busy and your schedule is tight but please do not forget.. Have a pleasant  weekend.
           Greetings to your wife and Wonderful.

Dear QE users,
I have a problem with cell optimization for one of my objects -- Copper 
phthalocyanine. It has layered structure and the distance between sheets 
must be around 3.3 Angstroms according to some experimental evidences. 
Using this value as an initial approximation I've started "vc-relax" 
calculation with pw.x from the latest version of the QE package (5.0). 
The calculation died several times after 15-20 optimization cycles with 
message

"Error in routine scale_h (1):
      Not enough space allocated for radial FFT: try restarting with a 
larger cell_factor."

and I restarted it using latest optimized parameters. During the 
optimization the distance between layers (parameter celldm(3)) got 
unrealistically small. Now it is around 0.5 Angstrom. What could be 
wrong with my input (see below)?

Dear Giuseppe and all others,
first of all, sorry for the duplicated message in the list. I have not 
received any message to my initially registered e-mail address and was 
already thinking that my question has not got into the pw_forum.

Ok, I will use no less then 35 and 280 for ecutwfc and ecutrho.

I calculate a _polymer_ of CuPc. The unit cell I've created contains 33 
atoms, that should be correct.

Thank you! I was not careful in reading the manual and thought that 
these parameters are just lengths of vectors.

Ok, thanks for pointing on that. Now I can play with calculations further.

Sincerely,

Dear Yuri
I'm not sure whether my previous answer to your previous post (identical to this one... Do not ask 
two times the same question, please) reached the forum, thus I paste it below, with some corrections 
wrt the previous version.

There are several technical and physical reasons behind your unrealistic results.

Technical:

>      N   14.00700  N.pbe-van_ak.UPF
>      H    1.00800  H.pbe-van_ak.UPF
>      C   12.01100  C.pbe-van_ak.UPF
>     Cu   63.54600  Cu.pbe-n-van_ak.UPF

>      ecutwfc = 25 ,

In the case of ultrasoft pseudopotential, ecutrho has to be indicated, having a value between 
6*ecutwfc and 10*ecutwfc (convergence should be reached with respect to all such values, but I 
perform satisfactorily converged CuPc calculations with the same pseudos by using 
ecutwfc=35/ecutrho=280 cutoffs...)

>      tot_charge = 0.000000,
>      starting_magnetization(1) = 0.0,

useless keywords (in this case...). Starting_magnetization(4) = x with 0.0 < x < 1.0 is enough to 
break the spin symmetry.

>      nat = 33,

The copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) has 57 atoms. Your system is a sort of periodical "graphene-like" 
sheet, or "graphite-like" crystal, based on CuPc.

>      ibrav = 6,
>      celldm(1) = 20.11677,
>      celldm(3) =  2.59367,

your sheet is embedded into a tetragonal cell, and it seems to be placed at a z distance of about 30 
A from its periodically repeated image... Check the exact use of the celldm(i) variables: 2.59367 
means that the c parameter is 2.59367*20.11677 a.u.

Physical:

Molecular crystals or layered molecular structures stay together because of dispersion interactions. 
As you are not using any kind of dispersion correction, you will never obtain meaningful results on 
lattice parameters. There is plenty of theoretical papers investigating the CuPc molecule, or the 
graphite packing. I suggest you to start with them...

Dear All Developres and usres,
I was running the example02 in PP directory of espresso-5.0.1.This example
shows how to calculate the Density of States (DOS) and
how to plot the Fermi Surface of Ni . I am able to do first job but got the
error for the Fermi Surface calculation of Ni.
Error::::
Fermi Surface plot Spin-Polarized case...  running the scf calculation
spin-polarization ...  done
  running the Fermi Surface calculation ...  done
At line 230 of file bands_FS.f90 (unit = 5, file = 'stdin')
Fortran runtime error: Bad real number in item 1 of list input
mv: cannot stat `Bands_FS_up.bxsf': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `Bands_FS_down.bxsf': No such file or directory

The same problems occurs for the  non spin-polarized case of Fermi surface
calculation of Ni.
Please help me to get rid of this error.
Thanks in advanced for your kind help.

Subject: [Pw_forum] assignment of spin label to electronic band

Dear PW users,
 Is it possible to assign spin label to the electronic bands? That means,
can we tell which band is associated with up spin and which one due to down
spin? If possible, can somebody please tell me how to do that?
 P.S.- I'm doing fully relativistic calculation with spin-orbit coupling.

Thanks in advance,
