Ypp band interpolation error

[waynebeibei]

Dear all,

I have performed the GW calculations and then run ypp -s b to interpolate the GW band structures.
However, I met the error like:' [06.02] Interpolation@work: Circuit
===================================

[INTERPOLATION] Number of shells: 10

[WARNING]Allocation attempt of delta of zero size.

[WARNING]Allocation attempt of h_mat of zero size.

[WARNING]Allocation attempt of star_2 of zero size.

[WARNING]Allocation attempt of ipiv of zero size.

[ERROR] STOP signal received while in :[06.02] Interpolation@work: Circuit

[ERROR][INTERPOLATION] Error in factorization'.

My ypp.in shows below: 'electrons # [R] Electrons (and holes)

Anyone knows the possible reasons?

Dear yanjiaxu,

Code: Select all

[INTERPOLATION] Number of shells: 10

is too low. Which version of the code are you using ?
Can you attach the report of the setup and any the file produced during the interpolation run ?

Best,
D.

Dear Davide,

My yambo version is 4.5.1.
I think I got the reason. I turn to used more k-points during DFT calculations instead of Gamma point and the error disappears.

Best regards,
Jiaxu Yan
