<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear users,</div><div><br></div><div>Can someone suggest to me papers in which they have used Quantum 
ESPRESSO to calculate ELF and bader charge analysis. I am a little 
confused, I have seen papers on ELF calculated using other softwares, in
 which there is a smooth gradient between two atoms which is absent in 
my case. Also, the warning message in the output of pp.x scares me 
"US+ELF not fully implemented".</div><div>I am also attaching the ELF image produced using this input. I am attaching the input file for SCF 
calculation and post-processing calculation. I have attached the ELF 
image generated using QE with previous mail</div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr"><div>&CONTROL<br>    calculation     = 'scf',<br>    prefix          = 'nithish',<br>    verbosity       = 'high'<br>    outdir          = '/scratch/nithish.k/temp/',<br>    pseudo_dir      = './',<br>    forc_conv_thr   = 1.d-5,<br>    etot_conv_thr   = 1.d-8,<br>/<br><br>&SYSTEM<br>    a                =  8.6080<br>    ibrav = 1<br>    nat  = 48<br>    ntyp        = 3<br>    ecutwfc      = 180<br>    ecutrho     = 1400<br>    occupations = 'smearing'<br>    smearing = 'gaussian'<br>    degauss = 0.01<br>    nbnd  = 500<br>/<br><br>&ELECTRONS<br>conv_thr = 1.D-9<br>/<br>&IONS<br>/<br><br>ATOMIC_SPECIES<br>Cu     63.54600  Cu.pbe-dn-kjpaw_psl.1.0.0.UPF<br>O      15.99940  O.pbe-n-kjpaw_psl.1.0.0.UPF<br>Y      88.90585  Y.pbe-spn-kjpaw_psl.1.0.0.UPF<br><br>ATOMIC_POSITIONS (crystal)<br>Cu            0.1153009681        0.1153009681        0.3708947335<br>Cu            0.3708947335        0.1153009681        0.1153009681<br>Cu            0.1153009681        0.3708947335        0.1153009681<br>Y             0.3750000000        0.3750000000        0.3750000000<br>O             0.2330143627        0.2330143627        0.2330143627<br>O            -0.0007527148       -0.0007527148       -0.0007527148<br>Cu            0.1242230308        0.1242230308        0.8757670364<br>Cu            0.3750000000        0.1157394267        0.6342605733<br>Cu            0.1157394267        0.3750000000        0.6342605733<br>Cu            0.3750000000        0.3750000000        0.8750000000<br>O             0.2490547408        0.2490547408        0.7521678397<br>O            -0.0042101793       -0.0042101793        0.5037855915<br>Cu            0.1157394267        0.6342605733        0.3750000000<br>Cu            0.3750000000        0.6342605733        0.1157394267<br>Cu            0.1242230308        0.8757670364        0.1242230308<br>Cu            0.3750000000        0.8750000000        0.3750000000<br>O             0.2490547408        0.7521678397        0.2490547408<br>O            -0.0042101793        0.5037855915       -0.0042101793<br>Cu            0.1213074241        0.6286925759        0.8750000000<br>Cu            0.3791052665        0.6346990319        0.6346990319<br>Cu            0.1213074241        0.8750000000        0.6286925759<br>Cu            0.3750000000        0.8750000000        0.8750000000<br>O             0.2462144085        0.7542101793        0.7542101793<br>O            -0.0021678397        0.5009452592        0.5009452592<br>Cu            0.6342605733        0.1157394267        0.3750000000<br>Cu            0.8757670364        0.1242230308        0.1242230308<br>Cu            0.6342605733        0.3750000000        0.1157394267<br>Cu            0.8750000000        0.3750000000        0.3750000000<br>O             0.7521678397        0.2490547408        0.2490547408<br>O             0.5037855915       -0.0042101793       -0.0042101793<br>Cu            0.6286925759        0.1213074241        0.8750000000<br>Cu            0.8750000000        0.1213074241        0.6286925759<br>Cu            0.6346990319        0.3791052665        0.6346990319<br>Cu            0.8750000000        0.3750000000        0.8750000000<br>O             0.7542101793        0.2462144085        0.7542101793<br>O             0.5009452592       -0.0021678397        0.5009452592<br>Cu            0.6346990319        0.6346990319        0.3791052665<br>Cu            0.8750000000        0.6286925759        0.1213074241<br>Cu            0.6286925759        0.8750000000        0.1213074241<br>Cu            0.8750000000        0.8750000000        0.3750000000<br>O             0.7542101793        0.7542101793        0.2462144085<br>O             0.5009452592        0.5009452592       -0.0021678397<br>Cu            0.6257769692        0.6257769692        0.8742329636<br>Cu            0.8742329636        0.6257769692        0.6257769692<br>Cu            0.6257769692        0.8742329636        0.6257769692<br>Cu            0.8750000000        0.8750000000        0.8750000000<br>O             0.7507527148        0.7507527148        0.7507527148<br>O             0.5169856373        0.5169856373        0.5169856373<br>K_POINTS {automatic}<br> 2 2 2 0 0 0<br> <br> HUBBARD atomic<br>U Cu-3d 10<br>U O-2p  9</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The pp.x input file</div><div><br></div><div>&INPUTPP<br>   prefix  = 'nithish'<br>   filplot = 'file.charge'    <br>   plot_num = 8<br>   outdir   = '/scratch/nithish.k/temp'<br>/<br><br>&PLOT<br>   nfile     = 1<br>   filepp(1) = 'file.charge' <br>   iflag         = 3 <br>   output_format = 6<br>   e1(1) = 1.0, e1(2) = 0.0, e1(3) = 0.0,<br>   e2(1) = 0.0, e2(2) = 1.0, e2(3) = 0.0,<br>   e3(1) = 0.0, e3(2) = 0.0, e3(3) = 1.0,<br>   x0(1) = 0.0, x0(2) = 0.0, x0(3) = 0.0,<br>   fileout = 'elf.cube' <br>/</div></div><div class="gmail-yj6qo gmail-ajU"><div id="gmail-:83" class="gmail-ajR" role="button" tabindex="0" aria-label="
