[QE-users] Electron-phonon with Hubbard U is not supported

Dear Iurii,

Paul Grant here. Not sure if we've met during my many planetary travels over
my long careers at IBM and EPRI.  Please go to www.w2agz.com .  I was taught
"molecular structure computational methods" by two of its pioneers Frank
Herman and Enrico Clementi while I was at IBM.  When I became a manager, I
hired John Hubbard into my group (John and I filed two "trade secrets" which
I'm not allowed to disclose yet!). 

To the point, I enjoyed reading your arxiv paper.  I'm one of the "founders"
of the structure of the copper oxide perovskites which IBM internationally
patented back in April, 1987.  I immediately began calculations  of the
electron-phonon pair coupling which I continued for two decades, especially
using Quantum-Espresso, in the hope of being able to predict magnon-spin
pairing in the CuO perovskites.  However, as you point out QE to date cannot
accommodate spin and lattice interactions at the same time to incorporate
into a BCS model.  The best I've been able to do was published in 2008 here

Dear Sir, 

 

When performing the electron-phonon coupling calculations by the GGA+U
methods, it prints the error "Electron-phonon with Hubbard U is not
supported".  So,  the QE6.6 does not support the DFT+U calculations for the
electron-phonon coupling calculations, right?

 

Thanks.

 

Best regards,

 

Roc
