Segmentation fault during electron mobility

Post by Nandan »

Hi,

I am trying to evaluate electron and hole mobility separately keeping int_mob = .false.
Hole mobility is evaluated without error whereas the electron mobility job crashes with a segmentation fault. If the option int_mob=.true. then the job completes without error. Basic checks for interpolation of bandstructure and phonon dispersion are correct.

The segmentation fault message is:
=====================================
forrtl: severe (174): SIGSEGV, segmentation fault occurred

The epw.out file crashes after evaluating the Fermi levels corresponding to the temp and carrier concentration:

===========================================
A selecq.fmt file was found but re-created because selecqread == .FALSE.
We only need to compute 8000 q-points

Valence band maximum = 4.905355 eV
Conduction band minimum = 5.626709 eV

Temperature 200.000 K
Mobility CB Fermi level = 5.400225 eV

Temperature 300.000 K
Mobility CB Fermi level = 5.278715 eV

Temperature 400.000 K
Mobility CB Fermi level = 5.149165 eV

===================================================================
Scattering rate
===================================================================


Fermi Surface thickness = 0.500000 eV
This is computed with respect to the fine Fermi level 5.453000 eV
Only states between 4.953000 eV and 5.953000 eV will be included

Application 24851008 exit codes: 174
Application 24851008 resources: utime ~16s, stime ~2s, Rss ~24192, inblocks ~742, outblocks ~200

===========================================

The fine grid size is chosen just for testing. Any help with the issue would be great.

Thanks,

Nandan.

BTW I am using the latest version of QE and EPW.
