Hi Michael,

At the end of your slurm file I see that the number of requested CPUs is 192. In this example the k/q-grid is 4x4x4 so you can parallelize over 64 pools at most. Could you try reducing the number of CPUs / pools and see if the problem persists?

Best,

Dear Pravin, I agree with Sabya, this error occurs when the number of MPI processes is larger than the number of k-points in the fine grid (where the matrix elements will be interpolated and the polaron equations solved). In the school example (lif.epw2.in), nkf1=nkf2=nk3=4, so the fine grid contain...

Dear Qiaolin, That is correct; In order to write the polaron wave function in real space, the Wannier functions in .cube file format are required. These can be written with EPW by setting the input variable wannier_plot = .true. (see https://docs.epw-code.org/doc/Inputs.html#wannier-plot and related...

Dear leeru, The structure of the Ank.band.plrn file, ordered by columns, is as follows: # k-point index (k) # band index (n) # Kohn-Sham eigenvalue in eV (\varepsilon_{nk}) # Re[Ank] # Im[Ank] # Abs[Ank] You can plot this data using any software of your choice. Best regards, Jon Lafuente-Bartolome
