ypp : invalid option -- e

[waynebeibei]

Dear all,

I have finished the BSE calcualtions using Yambo4.5.1 (yambo -o b -k sex -y d -p p -V qp), and I want to plot the exciton wavefunctions using ypp -e w. When I input 'ypp -e w', the screen shows"ypp : invalid option -- e'. I have uncommented the WRbsWF in ypp.in to write the FWs.

Anyone can help me? Many thanks.

Dear waynebeibei ,
you are right. The problem here is that we have updated the ypp postprocessing to deal with a finite-q bethe-salpeter even if this part of the code has been not yet released.
As indicated in the help legend (ypp -H) you need to indicate the q index of the excitation you want to plot/analyze:

Code: Select all

>ypp -H 
 -e <opt> <opt>	:Excitons  [(s)ort,(sp)in,(a)mplitude,(w)ave;qindx]

I understand this is not very visible.

By typing:

Code: Select all

> ypp -e w 1 

ypp shuould produce the correct ypp input file. Then you have to leave the qpt index=1.

Code: Select all

Qpts= 1   

I'm sorry for the lack of clarity regarding this point.

Best,
Daniele
