Hello,I would  like to ask if it is possible to restart a job in Fermi changing the mixing_beta parameter.Is the job going to restart with the new file the I put  without an error or will keep using the initial parameter ?   Fatema

Hello all,I am trying to minimize the interaction between my system and its periodic images. To do so, I introduced a layer of vacuum along the z-axis by increasing the lattice vector along the z-axis by 4A. At the same time, I fixed it by using this parameter: cell_dofree='2Dxy',But I have noticed atoms that are close to the vacuum move along the z-axis and vacuum is decreasing, is this wrong or I should use different cell_dofree?note:relaxation still ongoing, not relaxed yet.

JARET,ASU

Hello,

4 angstroms wide seems to be very small for the vacuum. As a rule of thumb you should use at least 2.5 times the thickness of your slab. This is what we observed in the calculations of semiconductor slabs. This has to be tested.

Hello everybody,
Can anybody explain me what the nature of coupling of an atom?s moment with the nearby vacancy means? To decide the nature of interaction between two atoms, we need to have the presence of charge, but in case of vacancy, how can we say whether, the interaction is ferro or antiferromagnetic?

Thanks in advance
Pankaj

you are right! just keep the 4 angstroms, no one will notice.

(actually, skip the calculations altogether, and make up some
plausible numbers in your paper - that will be even faster).

right! after all, we already know that the answer to the ultimate
question about life, the universe and everything is 42.  ;-)

To make it clear, I am not adding vacuum to isolate my system like in graphene where we make the z-axis large enough to make it graphene not graphite. My system is a (001) interface between semi-metallic and semiconductor, so i am trying to minimize the interaction along the interface which is along the z-axis and study some properties and match it with experimental results. I need a reasonable vacuum so I began with 4A.

Dear all,


I am trying to study the dihydrogen phosphate adsorption on LiCoO2 in water environment, but having difficulty getting the SCF converged.

As suggested, I have changed ecutrho, mixing_beta, mixing_mode, degauss, and increase mixing_ndim & nbnd, but still not working.


Could anyone please help ~

Below are my Environ.in and input file. Shown in the very bottom are part of the "estimated scf accuracy" after 100 iterations.


Thanks a lot,

i don't know the detail of your system but can imagine that if the 
vacancy localizes some electronic state around its location and the 
system is magnetic then the the question of whether the coupling with 
the surrounding atoms is ferro or antiferro can make sense.

Respected Experts/Friends,
                                      I installed Quantum espresso-5.2.1
and Wannier90-2.0.1 seperately in my system. Already wannier90-1.2 is
installed in quantum espresso-5.2.1 thus bin directory contains
pw2wannier.x executable.
I tried to calculate transport properties of silicon which is in
wannier90-2.0.1/examples/example16-withqe. The procedure for calculating
silicon transport properties as it is in tutorial guide is as follows
1. pw.x < Si.scf > scf.out
2. pw.x < Si.nscf > nscf.out



*3. wannier90.x -pp Si4. pw2wannier90.x < Si.pw2wan > pw2wan.out5.
wannier90.x Si6. postw90.x Si*


For my calculation i used wannier90.x & postw90.x which is presented in
wannier90-2.0.1 folder and pw2wannier.x which is in quantum espresso-5.2.1
folder. I used this because when i use wannier90.x which is in quantum
espresso-5.2.1 folder it shows error as boltzwann is not implemented in
wannier90-1.0. Is my procedure to calculate transport properties for
example16-withqe is right?


Thank you

So, I think in this case you should also relax the z-axis: The system tends to fill the vacuum by moving atoms since it cannot adapt the cell parameter.

> To make it clear, I am not adding vacuum to isolate my system like in graphene where we make the z-axis large enough to make it graphene not graphite. My system is a (001) interface between semi-metallic and semiconductor, so i am trying to minimize the interaction along the interface which is along the z-axis and study some properties and match it with experimental results. I need a reasonable vacuum so I began with 4A.
