[Pw_forum] Input file for Bulk Gallium

[manchugh at iitk.ac.in]

Dear QE users

Can anybody help me in creating input file for Bulk Alpha Ga? I am attaching
the file what I have made but I am not sure if it represents alpha Ga or
not.



&CONTROL
    calculation = "scf",
    title = 'Ga'
    verbosity = 'high',
    restart_mode = 'from_scratch',
    prefix = 'AlphaGa',
    pseudo_dir = './',
    outdir = './'
 /
&SYSTEM
    ibrav = 8 ,
    celldm(1) = 8.5268 ,
    celldm(2) = 1.0013 ,
    celldm(3) = 1.6948 ,
    nat = 8 ,
    ntyp = 1 ,
    ecutwfc = 60 ,
    ecutrho = 480 ,
    occupations = 'smearing',
    smearing = 'methfessel-paxton' ,
    degauss = 0.05

&ELECTRONS
  electron_maxstep = 400,
  diagonalization='cg',
  conv_thr = 1.D-6
