Cannot find "prefix.pade_aniso_gap0_T" at some temperature

Post by hellolori »

Dear all,

I try to solve the Eliashberg equation at several temperatures by setting the tags as follows:

Code: Select all

laniso = .true.
limag = .true.
lpade = .true.
nstemp=4,
 tempsmin=1.5
 tempsmax=4.5

I found that the calculations under the four temperatures are all converged on the imaginary axis. After the calculations, however, I could not find the file "prefix.pade_aniso_gap0_001.50". By contrast, the files "prefix.pade_aniso_gap0_002.50", "prefix.pade_aniso_gap0_003.50" and "prefix.pade_aniso_gap0_004.50" can be found. I also find the related code to output the file in "eliashberg_aniso_cont_raxis.f90":

Code: Select all

   
         IF ( errdelta .gt. 0.d0 ) THEN
             conv = .true.
            WRITE(stdout,'(5x,a,i6,a,ES20.10,a,ES20.10,a,ES20.10)') 'pade = ', N, &
                     '   error = ', errdelta, '   Re[Znorm(1)] = ', real(Znorm(1)), &
                    '   Re[Delta(1)] = ', real(Delta(1))
             cname = 'pade'
             CALL eliashberg_write_cont_raxis( itemp, cname )
       ENDIF

I would like to know why doesnot EPW output the file "prefix.pade_aniso_gap0_001.50", since the whole process of the calculation seems smooth. How can I get it? Can anyone help me?

Hello,

It should have produced it. Maybe a small issue on your cluster while writing.

It could also be that for some reason the "tempsmin" values does not get printed but I doubt it.
In any case, you can try running:

Code: Select all

laniso = .true.
limag = .true.
lpade = .true.
nstemp=2,
tempsmin=1.0
tempsmax=1.5


to see if you can get it.

Dear Samuel,
I try running:

Code: Select all

laniso = .true.
limag = .true.
lpade = .true.
nstemp=4,
tempsmin=1.6
tempsmax=1.9

Then, I found that all the calculations on the imaginary frequency axis are converged. However, only when "temp = 1.9 K", did EPW output the file "prefix.pade_aniso_gap0_001.90". I also found some differences of the standard output between "temp = 1.9 K" and "itemp = 1.8, 1.7, 1.6" :

For example, in the case of temp = 1.8 K, no "prefix.pade_aniso_gap0_001.80".

Dear Samuel,

I have found the direct reason why EPW doesn't print the file "prefix.pade_aniso_gap0_T". The reason is the convergence is not reached in the subroutine "pade_cont_aniso_iaxis_to_raxis". Could you give me some suggestions about how to deal with this situation?

Hi,

This type of convergence issue can appear if the temperature is close to the critical temperature and the superconducting gap is very small.
For the run at 1.9K, you can try to either increase the cutoff frequency wscut or, alternatively, you can set the nswi flag instead of wscut to a value larger than the current value 311.

If you look at your output you can see that for the run at 1.9 K

temp( 4) = 1.9000 K

Solve anisotropic Eliashberg equations on imaginary-axis

Total number of frequency points nsiw ( 4 ) = 311
Cutoff frequency wscut = 0.3205
