[Pw_forum] Error while parsing atomic positions

[Eduardo Ariel Menendez Proupin]

As S. Baroni noticed with better aye than me, "O" is different from "0",
but also you have set too many atoms positions are equivalent due to
translational symmetry.
Positions (0,0,0), (1,0,0), (0,1,0), etc are the same.
Also, with ibrav=2, you need to set only the positions of ONE Ga and ONE As
in the primitive unit cell, and also nat=2.

ATOMIC_POSITIONS {crystal}
Ga 0.O  0.0  1.0
Ga 1.0  0.0  0.0
Ga 0.5  0.0  0.5
As 0.75 0.25 0.75
As 0.25 0.25 0.25
Ga 0.5  0.5  1.0
Ga 1.0  0.5  0.5
As 0.25 0.75 0.75
As 0.75 0.75 0.25
Ga 0.0  1.0  0.0

Subject: [Pw_forum] Error while parsing atomic positions
Hi,

I am trying to do the scf calculation on unit cell GaAs. But i am
continously observing an error "Error while parsing atomic positions" while
running it. I have checked the program several times but still not able to
troubleshoot. I am attaching my input and output file result along.

*input file*

&control
    calculation='scf'
    restart_mode='from_scratch'
    prefix='GaAs'
    wf_collect=.true.,
    pseudo_dir = '/root/pseudo',
    outdir='/root/poonamGaAs/temp',

 /
 &system
    ibrav=2, nat=10, ntyp= 2,celldm(1) = 10.20,
    ecutwfc = 25.0,ecutrho=300, occupations ='fixed',

 /
 &electrons
    mixing_beta = 0.1
    mixing_mode = 'plain'
    conv_thr =  1.0e-5
    diagonalization = 'david'

"*Padece, espera y trabaja para gentes que nunca conocerá y que a su vez
padecerán, esperarán y trabajarán para otros, que tampoco serán felices,
pues el hombre ansía siempre una felicidad situada más allá de la porción
que le es otorgada. Pero la grandeza del hombre está precisamente en querer
mejorar lo que es. En imponerse Tareas. En el Reino de los Cielos no hay
grandeza que conquistar, puesto que allá todo es jerarquía establecida,
incógnita despejada, existir sin término, imposibilidad de sacrificio,
reposo y deleite. Por ello, agobiado de penas y de Tareas, hermoso dentro
de su miseria, capaz de amar en medio de las plagas, el hombre puede hallar
su grandeza, su máxima medida en el Reino de este Mundo*".
Alejo Carpentier, El reino de este mundo, (1949).

"...man never knows for who he suffers and waits. He suffers and waits and
works for peoples he will never meet, and who at the same time will suffer
and wait and work for others who will also not be happy, as man always
desires a happiness that is beyond the lot that he is given. But the
greatness of man is precisely in wanting to improve what he is. In
assigning himself Tasks. In the Kingdom of Heaven there is no greatness to
conquer, for everything there is an established hierarchy, the unknown is
unobscured, existence is without end, sacrifice, rest, and delight are
impossibilities. Therefore, overwhelmed with hardships and Tasks, beautiful
within his misery, capable of loving in the middle of calamity, man can
only find his greatness, his full self-realization, in the Kingdom of this
World." - Alejo Carpentier
