Why EPW code gets stuck at wannierization-step with USPPS

[Gautam Sharma Monty]

Hi everyone,
I am using QE-6.4 which supports EPW calculation with USPPs.
I am facing a problem in wannierization step in the EPW calculations with USPPs.
Basically, code is running in the background. It is stuck at the following in EPW.out file::
- Number of bands is ( 26)
- Number of total bands is ( 30)
- Number of excluded bands is ( 4)
- Number of wannier functions is ( 26)
- All guiding functions are given

Running Wannier90


However, there is no progress reflected in case.wout file.


I tried running the code in two different machines. But the results are the same. It gets stuck at wannierization step. I don't understand what is wrong with it. Please help me to resolve this issue.

Hi,

One thing, I forget to mention above that I am using PBE+vdW+SOC along with full relativistic USPPs. Has it been coded for non-collinear cases?

[roxana]

Hi,

Yes, SOC should be supported by USPP with the develop version of QE/EPW that you can download from GitLab.

Best,
Roxana

[Gautam Sharma Monty]

Thank you for the information.

[Gautam Sharma Monty]

Dear Sir,

I have installed and tried using new develop version of QE/EPW downloaded from GitLAb. But it has poor or no link to QE. Thus, pw2wannier step is not completing and it is not moving to wannierization part in EPW calculations.

In the latest version of QE-6.4.1, they have provided a patch file which fixes the problem but due to using vdW+SOC, I have found unphysical results like the negative spread of wannier functions.

On the other hand, though, in the develop version of QE/EPW which you mentioned above, I think that a new patch file is required because pw2wannier90.f90 routine has changed now compared to QE-6.4.1/PP/src/pw2wannier90.f90 routine.
How can I get a new patch file?

[roxana]

Dear Gautam,

Can you please clarify the following two points?

1) Does the wannierization procedure works fine using wannier90 and pw2wannier90 outside EPW? You mentioned getting unphysical wannier functions and it is not clear if this happens with the EPW code or the Wannier90 code as well.

2) What is the name of the subroutine (or which lines) in the pw2wannier90.f90 where the patch to vdW+SOC is implemented? I can take a look and see if this can be easily updated in the EPW code.

Best,
Roxana

[Gautam Sharma Monty]

Dear Sir,

I am using QE-6.4.1 stable version downloaded from GitHub and installed it using a patch file as given on the website since without patch file it does not link to wannier90.

Using QE-6.4.1 stable version and wannier90-3.0.0, I see the following:

1(a) If I use wannier90 as a standalone program then it works perfectly fine with USPP (PBE+SOC), with proper spread of wannier functions and I am able to obtain the electronic band structure accurately which is superimposing the electronic band structure computed using usual Quantum ESPRESSO methods.

This is screen shot of case.wout when wannier90 is used as standalone program using PBE+SOC for USPPs.

2) I am not able to use QE developer version (referred by you GitLab) because it has poor or no link to wannier90. I don't have a proper patch file that will link it to wannier90. The patch which
I generated links the wannier90 to EPW but it also gives the negative spread of wannier functions.

I guess some modification is needed in the subroutine named as "compute_amn_with_scdm_spinor" present at line number 3618 in pw2wannier90.f90 file.

[roxana]

Hi,

I don't know what patch you are talking about. The wannier90 code should be automatically installed when you compile EPW. Have you tried using clone?

===========================
git clone https://gitlab.com/QEF/q-e.git

git clone git@gitlab.com:QEF/q-e.git (if https doesn't work)

cd q-e
git checkout develop
./configure
make epw
==========================

The "compute_amn_with_scdm_spinor" subroutine from PP/src/pw2wannier90.f90 that you mention is an alternative method for generating localised Wannier
functions without an initial guess for the Wannier projections. The subroutine doesn't have any special patch to deal with vdW interaction. This algorithm is indeed not implemented in EPW pw2wan90epw.f90 subroutine at this point.

However, the "compute_amn_para" subroutine in EPW/src/pw2wan90epw.f90 is the same as the "compute_amn" subroutine in PP/src/pw2wannier90.f90 and should work with USPP and SOC (this algorithm requires an initial guess for the Wannier projections).

Best,
Roxana
