Dear Lucian,

By using esm_bc=bc1, you can obtain the desired results. In this case, dipole correction is not necessary.

If you are calculating a system with no net dipole, the electrostatic potential on both sides will be flat and at the same level. On the other hand, if the system has a net dipole, the electrostatic potential on both sides will be flat, but the height of these flat regions will differ. This difference in height is related to the total dipole moment of the system.

The former can be correctly calculated even with conventional periodic boundary conditions, while the latter can be naturally calculated using ESM (esm_bc=bc1).

Best regards,
Minoru

Dear QE users,

Im trying to do a relaxation calculation of a Copper unit cell doped with Nickel. 75 % of the atoms are doped with Nickel and the remaining atoms are Copper.
During the vc-relax calculation, Im getting an error message as follows, and the calculation gets automatically terminated:

Dear Suraj, it's not a "MPI error": it is an error reading the input 
data, notably one of the "cards". There is nothing obviously wrong in 
your data, but consider that errors can be produced by bad characters, 
DOS CR-LF characters, missing EOL (end-of-line) in the last line, ...

Hello,

if I understand correctly, you used the dash character ??? instead of 
minus sign ?-? in many places all over the file.

Nevermind, my monitor was playing tricks on me.

The actual problem is the line just before "ATOMIC_POSITIONS" which is 
not empty, but contains several TAB characters. Remove it and the input 
will work

Dear Minoru,


Thank you very much for this clarification! I finally understand it now!

I have now tested my example and saw that there is no difference between 
a 10 angstrom vacuum region and a 20 vacuum region on either side of my 
slab. This is good news for me for my future calculations!


Best regards,


Lucian
