EPW error

Post by plasmon »

Dear Developers,

Recently I used EPW 5.4.1 to calculate electron-phonon coupling in two-dimensional WSi2N4 and met EPW running error with the information,

The epw.in is listed as follows and the in files for KS calculations are in the attachment. Could you please tell me how to fix this problem? Thank you!

Dear Hao Zhang:

(from your ph.in)
...
start_q=1,
last_q=1,
...
It seems that you split phonon calculations.
Could you confirm that you correctly collected relevant phonon outputs in the save folder?

In addition, could you provide log files generated from your job submission?

Sincerely,

H. Lee

Dear Hao Zhang:

(from your 5-epw2.out)
2 Sym.Ops. (with q -> -q+G )
Progress kgmap: ########################################
kmaps : 0.42s CPU 7.76s WALL ( 1 calls)
Symmetries of Bravais lattice: 24
Symmetries of crystal: 12
The two symmetry informations above are not consistent.

And the solution is to remove the following line in your nscf.in
nosym=.true.
Regarding this, you can check the "Incompatible changes in EPW v5.3:" section of the page at https://docs.epw-code.org/doc/Releases.html#epw-v5-3 .

Sincerely,

H. Lee
