wrong energies in QP database merge by ypp

Post by Dean » Tue Aug 22, 2023 1:25 pm

Dear all,
I got an error or bug, when I want to merge several QP databsae by ypp.
Specifically speaking, the QP energies shows 0 for kpoint 40 from band 15-22 in the output by ypp. The QP energies for other kpoints and bands are all right.
Input and output files are attached.
Ang suggestion is appreciated.
Best,

Dear Yimin,

it is not easy to spot what's happening.
First, I would check the content of ./40/2D_WR_WC/ndb.QP if all is ok there.
Next, please note that an alternative way to merge QP databases is to use the yambopy utility:
https://www.yambo-code.eu/wiki/index.ph ... _databases
by using the command mergeqp.

Best,
Daniele

Dear Daniele,
I check the content of 40/2D_WR_WC/ndb.QP by using ncdump and get the QP.dat.
But I do not know the meaning of parameter in the output, such as QP_E,QP_E0 and QP_Z?
Please see the attachment.

Dear Yimin,
QP_E are the quasiparticle energies,
QP_E0 are the Kohn-Sham energies,
QP_Z are the normalization factors

Note that at variance of the output in the databases, they are stored in Hartree units.
