[Pw_forum] Problem on pp.x

[Jiaye, Li]

Hi


I am a new user of pwscf. At present I want to calculate the work function
of a surface slab. What confused me is where I am able to start, but I
happen to find that in the source directory where there is an example
(WorkFct_example) concerning that issue. I studied on it and modify the
input files accordingly. The first step for calculating via pw.x is ok. But
performing the second step via pp.x meets some problem. this is my input
file for pp.x:

 &inputPP
   outdir='/home/blade/jamesli/test/tmp',                       # temp files
   plot_num=11                          # the V_bare + V_H potential
   filplot = 'IO-O.pot'                 # the quantity selected by plot_num
/
 &plot
   iflag= 3,                                    # 3D plot
   output_format=3                              # format suitable for
XCRYSDEN  (1D, 2D, 3D)
/
I made a little changes in accord to the corresponding file in the pwscf
source directory. I tested the example in WorkFct_example, and it worked
well. I really don't know why it doesn't work for the present work. My
surface direction is along x axis, is that the root of problem? Could you
help me more about it?
