BSE stop
Dear developers,
I am running BSE for a 2D system, and the BSE stopped after the Kernel, and seems the diagonal process has a problem. The system is metal for PBE while it is a semiconductor under GW approximation, and I used the GW energe for the BSE. Does Yamob have a problem with BSE for the metal?(the version of Yambo for other system is OK for me)
Thanks!
Shudong

Re: BSE stop
Dear Shudong,
the situation you describe should not have any problem. Impossible to say more without looking at the report file.
Best,
Daniele

Re: BSE stop
Dear Yambo team,
I'm running BSE calculation for a material (which is a DSM) but it is getting terminated repeatedly. I would really appreciate any help.

Re: BSE stop
Dear Pushendra,
can you please post at least one of the log file in order to see where the code stop?
and importantly please check if you have some error message in one of the log files:

Re: BSE stop
Dear Daniele,
Thanks for the response.
I'm not able to see any error message in the log files. there are almost 120 log files (corresponding to each processor) but attaching two of them from different trials. PFA. Wishes,

Re: BSE stop
It is not easy to spot the problem, I'm just wondering if it could be a memory issue.
Can you try to run a calculation reducing the bands in BSE ? e.g.
if this is the case then it would be useful to track the used memory by enabling the flag:
in the configure and recompiling the code
Best,
Daniele

Re: BSE stop
Dear Daniele,
I'll try reducing the BSE bands first. I will see if it works.
Thank you for the suggestions

Re: BSE stop
Dear Pushendra,
this happens because your system is metallic:
you have partial occupation from band 45 to 54.
You need to include at least one fully empty and one fully occupied state in the BSE Hamiltonian while your setting is:
and not fully occupied bands are found.
Best,
Daniele

Re: BSE stop
Dear Daniele,
Yes, it runs now. But in that case, since there are 10 partially filled bands between completely empty and completely filled bands so I'm able to take only 1 completely empty and 1 completely filled band in BSE calculation because after this any increment in the band numbers (suppose 2 VB +10 Mettalic Bands+ 2 CB =14 bands) breaks the BSE calculations probably due to memory issue.
I do not know why there is no transition from the fully filled bands to partially filled bands or partially filled bands to empty bands. I'm not sure if there is some selection rule that does not allow these transitions or it is code specific case. These are the open questions coming to my mind, I will appreciate it if you could shed some light on them.
Also is there any tag in Yambo to include the Drude term (the intraband term)?
Thank you for the help.
