[Pw_forum] an error with do_ee

Dear Emine,
 
Thank you very much. I have read those papers, and it seems it is not easy for solids with non-cubic lattice. 
 
Best Regards,
Coy

Dear Coy,

I am now looking at the 4.2.1 version of the code. If you realized, 
there is a Doc directory in it, which holds a file called INPUT_PW.txt 
(or html), Please take a look at that file to see how assume_isolated 
variable works (now it is a character variable). There is also some 
minimal explanation on different methods that can be employed and 
references.

Please take a look at the theory papers there to decide which option 
to use, as what they do (just a shift in the energy or corrected 
potential etc) are different.

Makov Payne correction requires the madelung constant for a given 
bravais lattice, and it is only implemented for cubic lattices (ibrav 
1, 2, 3).Theoretically it is possible to extend it to other kinds of 
lattices as well. It is also possible practically, if you are willing 
to calculate the analytical integrals and plug them in the code.

cheers,
emine
