[QE-users] error of band-structure calculations with tpiba_c

Dear Giovanni, 




When I set all weights to 1.0, the calculation gave the error below



K_POINTS tpiba_c
3 
0.0  0.0  0.0 1.0
0.5  0.0  0.0 1.0
0.0  0.5  0.0 1.0



 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     Error in routine  fft_type_set (6):
  there are processes with no planes. Use pencil decomposition (-pd .true.)
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Any idea to remove this error?

Dear Jibiao Li,


I'm not very sure but I think that in specifying the k points in any format weights are mandatory even if not used.


As specified in the documentation
https://www.quantum-espresso.org/Doc/INPUT_PW.html#idm1514

In a non-scf calculation, weights do not affect the results.
If you just need eigenvalues and eigenvectors (for instance,
for a band-structure plot), weights can be set to any value
(for instance all equal to 1).



So, it is understood that you can set all weights to 1.0 or any other value for band structure calculations, but you must
specify some value.


Giovanni

Dear All,


I am trying to do calculations for band-structure contour plots by using tpiba_c, but the calculation stopped and give an error below:



  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%      t
ask #         9     from card_kpoints : error #         1
      end of file while reading tpiba k points
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Something wrong with my input format below?


K_POINTS tpiba_c
3 
0.0  0.0  0.0
0.5  0.0  0.0
0.0  0.5  0.0
 

I look forward to receiving your solution.
