Dear All,
I am trying to plot my band for a Magnetic semiconductor, MnO2
in some.
I am running the 4.1 version of QE at the CINECA IBM Sp6 machine.
I got this message.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
task # 0
from bands : error # 1
The bands code with constrained magnetization has not been tested
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Ok. I looked in the forum and I saw the reason for it.
Now, I was wondering if more updated versions (4.2 and 4.3.1) could perform
this kind of calculations.
I started testing it, and I simply replaced in my script for launching the
job, the older version with the upgraded one (I tested both 4.2 and 4.3.1).
The same input which perfectly converged before, now gives me troubles and the
message I got immediately is
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
task # 1
from read_namelists : error # 88
reading namelist system
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Where am i failing? Ichjecked the forum once more and I think that it should
not be mis-spelling (exactly the same Input).
I checked the example file in the directory of the installed version of QE 4.2
without finding macroscopic differences with my one (that I attach below)
A problem of parallel libraries? But this one too seems to me the real reason
( I also tested the launching script in the same directory, getting the same
message, and after loading the proper module xlf/12-1)
Maybe I am using some obsolete features....
May someone give me a hint to fix my doubt?
(well, if 4.2 and 4.3.1 can do band calculation for constrained magnetic
systems, and also the reason of the difference for the old and new versions)
Many thanks,
Giacomo
