nr1, nr2 and nr3 are a three-dimensional FFT mesh and used all at a time.
if you are not much interested in nr1 and nr2 put its default as 24 24 and
set nr3=28.
i.e
nr1=24, nr2=24, nr3=28 ,

you have to set all three FFT dimensions, not just one.
See Modules/griddim.f90, subroutine realspace_grids_init.
By the way, in your case the system has three crystal axis
of the same length. You shouldn't set them to different FFT
dimensions. While the main code should still work, there
will be at least some cases in which symmetrization will not
work if the FFT grid breaks the symmetry of the crystal.

You must set all the three dimensions: nr1, nr2 and nr3 for your
setting to be taken in account. In the most recent versions of the
code there is a warning in the output if you specify only one of the
dimensions, I'll add a comment in the manual too.

best regards

Dear all,

I was calculating the phonon DOS of a 4-atom triclinic cell. I got the
force constant file (nb222.fc) from q2r.x, as attached. But when I was
trying to use matdyn.x to get phonon DOS, an error message showed up:

forrtl: severe (64): input conversion error, unit 1, file (...my
filepath...)/nb222.fc

This didn't happen for my 1-atom BCC cell calculations. Does this problem
have to do with number of atoms or cell shape? Your ideas are appreciated.
Thank you.

Sincerely,

Jiayi Yan

Hello
I am investigating structural and electronic properties of AgSbTe2.
AgSbTe2 is a narrow-gap semiconductor. But LDA calculations show that it is 
a semimetal and there is no gap in band structure. So that, I used LDA+u 
calculation but the band-gap problem was not solved and again there was no 
band gap.
In a paper, the problem was corrected by sx-LDA.
Can I use sx-LDA by quantum espresso? And if not, how can I correct band gap 
problem using quantum espresso?
thank you
