quasi-particle database reading problem

You can find here problems arising when using old releases of Yambo (< 5.0). Issues as parallelization strategy, performance issues and other technical aspects.

quasi-particle database reading problem

Post by martinspenke » Thu Jul 27, 2017 3:09 pm

Dear developers,

I recently tried to read the QP energies from a G0W0 calculation in the electron-phonon calculation for the Green's function by setting GfnQPdb= "E < SAVE/ndb.QP".
However, Yambo_4.2.1 does not read the G0W0 QP energies, and keeps calculating with the Kohn-Sham energies.

I like to study the effect of electron-electron correlation on the electron-phonon band gap corrections by setting GfnQPdb= "E < SAVE/ndb.QP"; however this is somehow not possible.

Best wishes,
Martin

Dear Martin,

I have tried to read the ndb.QP from a el-ph calculations and they work. Can you try to write "E < ./SAVE/ndb.QP"?

Cheers,

Dear Alejandro,

my problem is that the code crashes once I try to read the G0W0 QP energies in the el-ph calculation.
The code reads the QP energies correctly by GfnQPdb= "E < SAVE/ndb.QP" or GfnQPdb= "E < ./SAVE/ndb.QP"; however it stops to further calculate the el-ph gap corrections.

There could be a mismatch between the GW code and the EL-PH code in Yambo.

What I like to know is the effect of electron-electron correlation on the el-ph gap correction; what you did I think is the effect of el-ph on the electron-electron gap correction (here I have no problem).
However it could be possible that electron-electron effect on the electron-phonon or electron-phonon effect on the electron electron is symmetric! I liked to have a check on this.

Best wishes,

Dear Martin,

I think I have reproduced the error. It is a segmentation fault after reading the database. I will report the bug and we will work on it.

Cheers,

Alejandro.

Dear Developers,

I just wanted to ask whether the reported segmentation fault bug above is meanwhile fixed?

Thanks and best wishes,
