General Questions and Answers / silicone Quantum Espresso.in related query

« on: November 2, 2018, 11:33 »

Dear Experts,
I have created the unit cell of silicine by altering the unit cell of Graphene as suggest by the method  proposed in VNL ATK tutorial.But unfortunately I don't find the hexagonal point group symmetry in relax.out file of silicine.But for Grapheme I get the correct symmetry (D6h) and for silicene it is the same.Is it a major drawback of VNL ? No direct structure of silicene is not provided VNL.How can I resolve the issue?

Thanks and regards,

General Questions and Answers / Issue related to Graphene script in espresso.in format

« on: September 12, 2018, 08:06 »

Dear Experts,
I am using VNL ATK 2015 version and I am facing some peculiar problem with Graphene script in espresso.in format.First I create the Graphene structure(unit cell of 2atoms) in Quantumwise which consists off 10 ang vacuum in z direction to avoid the problem of periodic replicas. After that I export the structure in espresso.in format.When I perform vc relax on this I see the hexagonal symmetry of graphene breaks.Instead of giving actual symmetry of Graphene which is D_6h(point group), the output file gives D_2h(an erroneous value).I don't understand why this is happening.After vc-relax the structural symmetry of an intrinsic material should not be changed under any circumstances.Please tell me how to resolve this issue.Do I need to do anything else to make this effective.Please help.

Thanks and regards,

Dear Sir,
I am using Quantumwise version: Virtual NanoLab 2015 and during the time of GW calculation in new calculator under FHI AIMS option I am not getting any .nc(Net CDF) file, without it I can't get any output curve(band structure, DOS etc). How can I solve this problem? Is there anyone who can tell me that how can I perform GW calculations in Quantumwise.
