Why so many files are generated when calculating optical properties?

[Peace]

I calculated the optical properties using the following commands (inside the save folder that contains data-file-schema.xml):

Code: Select all

$ .../.../...p2y' 
../.../...yambo'
../.../...yambo ' -o c
../.../...yambo'

but when I check the results so many o.eels_q_ip and o.eps_q_ip files are generated like bellow:

Code: Select all

$ ls
charge-density.dat    o.eel_q5_ip   o.eps_q4_ip              wfc15.dat
S_ONCV_PBE-1.0.UPF   o.eel_q6_ip   o.eps_q5_ip              wfc16.dat
data-file-schema.xml  o.eel_q7_ip   o.eps_q6_ip              wfc1.dat
P_ONCV_PBE-1.0.UPF    o.eel_q8_ip   o.eps_q7_ip              wfc2.dat
o.eel_q10_ip          o.eel_q9_ip   o.eps_q8_ip              wfc3.dat
o.eel_q11_ip          o.eps_q10_ip  o.eps_q9_ip              wfc4.dat
o.eel_q12_ip          o.eps_q11_ip  r_optics_dipoles_chi     wfc5.dat
o.eel_q13_ip          o.eps_q12_ip  r_optics_dipoles_chi_01  wfc6.dat
o.eel_q14_ip          o.eps_q13_ip  r_setup                  wfc7.dat
o.eel_q15_ip          o.eps_q14_ip  SAVE                     wfc8.dat
o.eel_q16_ip          o.eps_q15_ip  wfc10.dat                wfc9.dat
o.eel_q1_ip           o.eps_q16_ip  wfc11.dat                yambo.in
o.eel_q2_ip           o.eps_q1_ip   wfc12.dat
o.eel_q3_ip           o.eps_q2_ip   wfc13.dat
o.eel_q4_ip           o.eps_q3_ip   wfc14.dat

Where is this problem coming from please? and how can I fix it?
PS: I didn't use wf_collect=.true. in scf input file because this variable is no more implemented in Quantum ESPRESSO, also I'm working with hybrid functionals

Dear Salma,
this is because you have asked to calculate the dielectric function for all the qvectors of your grid.
If you are interested in optics only (q-->0) you need to set in your input file:

Code: Select all

% QpntsRXd
 1 | 1|                       # [Xd] Transferred momenta
%

Best,
Daniele

Dear Daniele,
Your answer solved my problem thank you.
