no -n switch in ypp

[mcygorek]

Hi,

I'm a new user of yambo and I've followed the great tutorial on how to obtain the band structure of hBN.

At some point in the tutorial, it is stated:
"
Before editing the ypp.in input file and running the interpolation, it is important to know that ypp uses an algorithm [2] that cannot be used in presence of time-reversal (TR) symmetry. As a first step we therefore remove the TR symmetry by typing:

$ ypp -n
"

However, In my version of yambo, ypp does not have a "-n" switch.
The output of "ypp -H" is:


___ __ _____ __ __ _____ _____
| Y || _ || Y || _ \ | _ |
| | ||. | ||. ||. | / |. | |
\ _/ |. _ ||.\ / ||. _ \ |. | |
|: | |: | ||: | ||: | \|: | |
|::| |:.|:.||:.|:.||::. /|::. |
`--" `-- --"`-- --"`-----" `-----"

This is ypp 4.2.1 rev.110

Has there been a recent change in ypp, or is there a typo in the tutorial?
Is there a more detailed tutorial on how to use ypp?

Dear Moritz,
the correct command line is

Code: Select all

$ypp -y 

remove the comment in the generated ypp.in file

Code: Select all

#RmTimeRev

and run

Code: Select all

$ypp

Best,

Daniele

Dear Daniele,

thank you very much.
With this, the bandstructure calculation works perfectly.
Maybe it's a good idea to change this in the tutorial,

Moritz
