Hello,

Thanks! I'll work with the old espresso in the meantime, and also try out the quick fix you suggested.

Thanks again,

By the way, Kopinjol,
you should be aware that the p2y interface does NOT compute the [Vnl,r] terms needed to compute the dipole matrix elements properly in the presence of a nonlocal pseudopotential. Although this warning appears all over the place when you run the code, as well as stressed in the p2y documentation, I'm afraid that people ignore it. Indeed for typical semiconductor systems the correction is negligible. However, for Ag I'm sure it is quite large. Unless you know better, you should do some tests using Abinit and a2y, in my opinion!

Hello Conor,

Thanks for pointing out the issue with the dipole matrix elements. I'll run some tests with abinit and check my results. In the meantime I have recompiled yambo(3.2.2-rev5) after commenting out the line you had suggested("call check_pseudo(n_atomic_species,psfile_)"). But I still get an error when I run p2y. It has something to do with reading bands:

<---> [01] P(W) 2 Y(ambo) Ver. 4.0
<---> DBs path set to .
<---> Index file set to data-file.xml

[ERROR] STOP signal received while in :[01] P(W) 2 Y(ambo) Ver. 4.0

I have checked my calculations and rerun them several times. Do you think there is still a bug in the code or there is something i am doing wrong?

Thanks again,

Are you trying to do a spin-polarized calculation? Unfortunately the GPL version of Yambo doesn't yet support spin...
In any case, the code should exit gracefully..could you please post your pwscf input file and I'll have a look at it?
cheers

Hello,

Yes my calculations are actually spin polarized. I didn't realize that the GPL version of yambo doesn't do spin polarized systems. Is there a version of yambo that does? The input files are attached.

Thanks again,
kopinjol

Hi again, I'm afraid you are out of luck...spin is something we have been working on but it is certainly not in any shape to be released (i.e. it has not been tested or debugged properly). I might direct you to Abinit, which has (AFAIK) spin support up to the GW level.
Sorry!

The p2y interface has been LARGELY updated in the latest revision (rev. 15). Can you update your source and test that it actually works.

THX!!!!

Thanks, I'll check out abinit. Thanks for letting me know.

I'll update my source and test it during the weekend and let you know. Thanks for the reply.
