Dear QE users,
I am trying to quantify the difference between PBE and B3LYP for Cl/Au
adsorption energy.
My system has 13 atoms, c(2x2) surface unit cell with 6 layers and 12
x12 x1 kpoints ( 43 irreducible kpoints, I know, that it is too much).
The pseudopotential is ultrasoft generated with BLYP functional.
In my input file, I set the following flags:
input_dft='B3LYP'
nqx1=2, nqx2=2, nqx3=1
I performed first a scf calculation without the flags above, then one
with (which takes a lot of time and even now it is not ready).
My question is about the (k+q) points, in my output it is written:
EXX: setup a grid of 128 q-points centered on each k-point
(k+q)-points:
I would like to understand from where does the number come? As far as I
understood, (k+q ) points are in the set of k points, why I have more?
What can I do to reduce the cpu time?
Thanks for your time and patience,
