Dear all,
I am trying to calculate the EELS of Bi2Se3 slab with spin-orbital coupling at RPA level.
But I have some problems to generate the input of YAMBO for the optical properties calculation. And if I generate it by myself, the calculation can not be done and report as following:

=====================================================
<---> [01] Files & I/O Directories
<---> [02] CORE Variables Setup
<---> [02.01] Unit cells
<---> [02.02] Symmetries
<---> [02.03] RL shells
<---> [02.04] K-grid lattice
<---> [02.05] Energies [ev] & Occupations
<01s> [03] Transferred momenta grid
<01s> [04] Game Over & Game summary
=====================================================
you can find the input and generated file in the attachment.
I am looking forward to your reply.

Dear Pehize,
in order to help you, can you explain in more detail what is the problem you are encountering?
From the file you posted it is not very clear.
In the error-report-1 there is not input file, form the report it looks a setup calculation
I can see 2 input file in the error-report-2:
The yambo-error.in there is not a runlevel specified, so Yambo just do nothing, the yambo.in is an rpa input at finite q, and what is the report file for this input, and the error you have?

Cheers,

Daniele

Dear Daniele,
I am sorry for the misleading.
First of all, I do the self-consistent calculation with SOC NC pp via Quantum espresso 4.3 to generate the wave-function, then do a non-self consistent calculation with large K-points and nbnd.
Then I use p2y to transfer the wave-function and databases, it works.
Then I use "yambo -i -V all" to generate the "yambo.in", then use "yambo -N" to do the Data initialization, it works and generates the "r_setup" file and ndb file in SAVE.
Then I use " yambo -o c -V all" to generate the input for optical calculation, it gives me the "yambo-error.in" file, which does not contain the proper parameter.
And I set the parameter by hands and get "yambo.in" file, then use "yambo -N" to calculate. it does not work and generates the file "l" and "r".
PS: the wave-function files are extremely large in this calculation (about 37G),

Dear Pehize,
if you are not able to properly generate a specific input file, this means that yambo is not allowed to perform that specific run for your system.
There could be many reasons for that.

I had a look to the yamb-error.in file and I read: Version 3.2.5
To be able to run calculations on a system with SO and spinors you should use the last yambo version: Version 3.3.0

Once you downloaded yambo Version 3.3.0, recall to compile both yambo and the interfaces and to generate a new SAVE dir with the new interfaces

Dear Davide,
I try to compile YAMBO_3.0, and it works.
Thank you very much.
