[QE-users] Error in routine diropn (34): can't open a connected unit

You get this error because use specify  fildvscf='dvscf'


In the documentation it is written:

fildvscf CHARACTER Default: ' '

File where the the potential variation is written
(for later use in electron-phonon calculation, see also fildrho).



> With the same phonon input file, I have computed phonon band structure for various compounds and I never faced any such warning


I do not know what exactly you did, but it is not needed to specify fildvscf if you want just to compute phonons.


Greetings,

Iurii


P.S.: My first name is Iurii, not Lurii; my last name is Timrov. So instead of Dr. Lurii one should write Dr. Timrov :)

Dear Dr. Lurii,
Thank you for the good comment and providing the reference paper. I will read it.

With the same phonon input file, I have computed phonon band structure for various compounds and I never faced any such warning, Error in routine diropn (34):.
Could you please make any comment on this? The present structure is a slab while my previous structures were 3D structures.



Thank you
Bhamu

Dear Bhamu,


Actually it is not a warning, it just tells you which Hubbard manifold in DFT+U is used (you can have 'atomic' and 'ortho-atomic' orbitals for the Hubbard manifold, and the Phonon+U code supports only 'atomic'). So yes you can continue the calculation, and in the publication you should specify that the atomic orbitals were used (without the Lowdin orthogonalization). You can have a look at this paper for more details:

Dear Dr. Lurii,
Thank you for the suggestion.
Now the phonon calculation has started.

I am getting a new warning now:

Atomic wfc used for the projector on the Hubbard manifold are NOT orthogonalized

     Calculating the dnsbare matrix...

     Calculating the dnsorth_cart matrix...

Can I ignore this warning?

Thank you very much
Bhamu

Actually you need to remove this: fildvscf='dvscf'

Also I would remove this: electron_phonon= " "

Can you share your PW and PH input and output files using Google Drive? Did you check whether the PW calculation finished successfully?


If the PW calculation finished successfully, then you can try to remove recover=.true. in the PH input and try again.


Greetings,

Iurii

Subject: [QE-users] Error in routine diropn (34): can't open a connected unit

Dear Users
I am trying to calculate the phonon band structure of Ni(OH)2 slab on a well converged scf.

I am using QE version 6.6 (also tried 6.5 and 6.4.1). QE is compiled with the mkl-2020.2.254 parallel library.
I am getting below error:

     Error in routine diropn (34):

I have checked the mailing list but it could not help me.
For the bulk system, it is running well.
