Yambo Community Forum

Dear All,

Please excuse me, if this question is redundant or silly - I'm relatively new to first principle calculations and especially to yambo.

What are the implications of including force_symmorphic=.true. clause in quantum espresso calculations, if they're performed for a system with non-symmorphic symmetries? As I understand this line is essential for yambo.

As far as I understand after searching the forum, the clause shouldn't have any bearings on calculated physical properites and is purely technical, but I wanted to make sure.

What about the performance issues? Does the inclusion of such a clause lead to reduced calculation speed?

Thank you for your attention.

Yambo cannot deal non-symmorphic symmetries and that's the reason why that keyword is needed in the QE calculation.
Sure, there is not any issue regarding physical properties, simply that symmetries are not taken into account.

Best,

Daniele

Thank you!
