GW0 calculations

[amolina]

Dear all,

I noticed we have the variable GWoiter. How is exactly done the self-consistent in the GW? Yambo updates eigenvalues and occupancies? only eigenvalues?

Cheers,

Alejandro.

Dear Alejandro,
Self consistency it is not contained in the GPL version.
Hopefully it will be in the next release. It update both eigenvalues and occupancies.
Hopefully it will be released soon.
Best,
Daniele

Hello Developer,

I did DFT calculation (scf and nscf) in Quantum Espresso and I selected k point 4 4 4 1 1 1 , and then I went through GW and BSE calculation by using Yambo everything went very well, but when I used k point 4 4 4 0 0 0 everything went wrong. I found Direct and in direct band gap changed totally by very high factor and then GW calculation stopped and BSE as well. I have attached report and log files for both. I am waiting for your a valuable suggestion. Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Khaled.

Dear Khaled,
it looks you have a netcdf problem (input/output), which is not easy to understand what is going on.
First: are you suer you need to calculate corrections for 160x24=3840 states? You can reduce the number of bands in %QPkrange calculating the bands across the Fermi levels.
Next, the gap reported by yambo in:

Code: Select all

 [02.05] Energies [ev] & Occupations

it is the KS gap and it comes from the QE calculations. What yambo does is to read the QE calculation and report it there. Check the QE outputs and try to understand what is going on at KS level.

Best,
Daniele
