Hi Daniele

1. I want to analyze the spectrum results with ypp, as shown in this tutorials, http://www.yambo-code.org/tutorials/SiH4/index.php setction [07]

Following the example, I need to choose the diagonalization solver. Then I type:

Code: Select all

yambo  -o b -k sex -y d

, this was suggested by the tutorials.

but there is no

Code: Select all

WRbsWF                       # [BSS] Write to disk excitonic the FWs

flag, in addition, the resulted yambo.in file is also different from the 06_BSE provided in the INPUTS directory.

But when I used the

Code: Select all

yambo  -o b -k sex -y d -V resp

, the WRbsWF flag was presented, but the yambo.in file is also different from the 06_BSE provided in the INPUTS directory.

The Response function is needed here? But it seems that it was not mentioned in the tutorials.

2. I have obtained BSE spectrum, the data is arranged like this:

Code: Select all

#  E/ev[1]    eps /Im[2] eps /Re[3] eps0/Im[4] eps0/Re[5] eps`/Im[6] eps`/Re[7]
#
   0.00000    0.00000   13.93249    0.00000   12.98278    0.00000   13.93249
 0.1010     0.1773E-1   13.94     0.1362E-1   12.99     0.1773E-1   13.94

Im and Re corresponds to the imaginary part and Real part of the dielectric constant, but what is the difference of col. 2-3 and col 4-5 and col 6-7.
In other words, which column of the data should we use to plot the spectrum?

thanks

Dear Eric,

The Response function is needed here? But it seems that it was not mentioned in the tutorials.

You can calculate it before in a separated runlevel or in the same runlevel, so that yambo first calculate the screening and then build the BSE kernel.

, but what is the difference of col. 2-3 and col 4-5 and col 6-7.

2-3 is your BSE spectrum eps
4-5 is the independent-particle spectrum eps0
6-7 as you are using an iterative method to solve the BSE, col 6-7 gives you the spectrum at the n-1 iteration before converging, it is there to check the convergence of the spectrum.

Best,
Daniele
