[Pw_forum] relaxation of doped system

[n16031320]

Dear Giuseppe:

Thanks for your response, I use Ver.5.3.0 of QE and GGA in the form of PBE.

About the type of pseudopotential, I use PAW from THEOS, according to the website it said that PAW type is widely tested and no error is reported.

I study some paper which is experiment, they dope with Ag and the percentage up to 7%, so I think 6.25% may be ok.

I studied the paper which is about experiment, it is said that SnSe doped with Al, Pb and Cu for 2%,respectively, don't change lattice parameter too much,

so I decided to do the relax calculation instead of vc-relax first for doped with Pb and Al for 6.25%, and the result show that the position of atoms don't change too mush,

then I check the total force is <0.0004 , I think the result of relaxation is reasonable. 

First I use 12 processors for the vc-relax calculation, now I use 48 processors for the relax calculation, 

the relax calculation for the doped with Al and Pb for 6.25% is done, but doped with Cu for 6.25% is still running, maybe 6.25% is too large for Cu? 

Also I will try to dope with lower percent too.

And what things I should pay attention to, any advice? Thanks!
