我的QE-6.1的epw没有编译好,换6.2.1就可以了

自洽用6.1算的,直接用6.2继续算会报这个错

python3在windows上的一个典型错误,通过加r'''your_path'''即可解决。e.g.

a2f_dat = open(r'''C:///Users///Administrator/Desktop/Results and Graph/Data/MgB2/0.05/MgB2.imag_aniso_gap0_015.00.dat''')

调整matplotlib中的字体,包括tex字体以及label的字体

mpl.rcParams['mathtext.fontset'] = 'cm'

编译QE-6.3的时候遇到的问题,在suanpan上边。

use,intrinsic :: ieee_arithmetic 
       1 
Fatal Error: Can't find an intrinsic module named 'ieee_arithmetic' at (1)

编译EPW的时候遇到的问题
上边两个问题好像是由gfortran版本导致的,mpif90并行编译器指定的串行编译器是gfortran,所以即使再configure里边指定F90=ifort也会被disregard,解决的办法就是使用mpiifort编译器作为并行编译器

./configure MPIF90=mpiifort FC=ifort F90=ifort F77=ifort

在这里不得不感慨ifort的强大,实际上之所以会出现IEEE那个问题就是由于gfortran 在5.0之前的版本不支持这种写法,所以才会不通过,而使用ifort就没有这个问题出处见stack_overflow。最后解决这个问题也是参考的Using Intel Fortran, C++ complier- parallel, serial versions

Error in routine dos (1):

这里是因为dos.x似乎不能并行,改成1个核就好了。

这个错误是输入文件的问题,这个地方是因为&CELL ... /与下面一个模块之间多输入了3个空格,导致它在读入输入文件的时候产生了异常。输入文件里边最好不要有多余的空格,另外这类问题一般会在工作区留下一个input_tmp.in的文件。

在matplotlib中实现英文字母使用Times New Roman字体而且希腊字母使用symbol字体。当然前提是你已经安装了这两个字体,这两个字体在github上都可以下载到

from matplotlib.font_manager import _rebuild; _rebuild()

安装字体之后matplotlib的字体管理器依然找不到,因为新安装的字体并没有被载入缓存,这个时候加上这一句就可以将字体载入缓存。后边就用不到了。

这个问题困扰了很久,就是程序在读入赝势的时候就会停下来然后log里边输出这个错误,google说这个是并行的时候内存处理的错误,在
EPW论坛上也看到有人遇到类似的问题但是开发者说是版本的问题,然而我已经用的是已发布的最新版本。最后发现是阶段能设置的问题,因为使用的是模守恒赝势,所以默认电荷截断能是能量截断的4倍,但是我在这里高出了4倍,可能开发者没有想到会有人这么做,所以程序每次读入赝势都会崩溃。将电荷截断能ecutrho标签去掉问题就解决了。

epw.x试图去找pattern.1.xml这个文件结果没找着。这里是因为epw的计算取消了电荷截断能的项而phonons的计算里没有取消的问题。

在epw.x 后边加上 -npool 40 epw.out解决。

很头疼的一个问题,刚开始搜的时候发现是说内存不足可能会导致这个问题,检查fsthick大小,发现相对于MgB_2的例子,fsthick确实设置的太大了,应该是声子最高能量的4倍左右(多声子散射相互作用不考虑)于是就设置小一点,中间包括还有怀疑是否是因为q点是分开算的原因,包括有人在算VASP碰到类似的问题会在脚本里边加一个
ulimit -s unlimited的命令,来取消对内存的限制。结果发现还是不行,这个问题的全部报错是

通过一个一个去看源代码发现,应该是k点设置的问题,改成nqf = 8 8 1 nkf = 16 16 1后可以继续算了。

     Error in routine cdiaghg (31):
     S matrix not positive definite

这个错误在计算非自洽的时候有时候会出现,目前没什么很好的办法,但是把'cg'改成‘david’好像可以一定程度上解决这个问题。有时候是有的参数设的错的比较严重也会出这个错误,所以看到这个也可以再检查一下自己的参数设置,然后增加截断能有时候也可以解决问题,这个问题是最头疼的问题之一,可能的原因有很多。

running on 1 processors

在所里机器曙光上算的时候,由于曙光上同时部署了openmpi和intelmpi甚至还有mpich的并行环境,导致在编译的时候使用的并行编译器和mpirun不是一家的,导致只能在1个核上并行同时还会输出12遍,使用which可以查看正在使用的mpif90和mpirun,最后把环境变量都改成intel的mpiifort和mpirun所在的文件夹解决了问题。

     Error in routine  allocate_bec_type (41):

这个应该是内存问题,换一个内存更大的机器或者把k点取少一点,可以看PW的user_guide估算计算所需的内存大小,和K点数目、截断能大小、FFT数量呈正相关。

Error in routine check_initial_status (1):
     recover file found, change in start_q not allowed

这个是在minicluster上计算{YH_{10}}的声子谱遇到的问题,由于机器walltime最多只能设置为12个小时,所以需要掉下来以后在声子输入文件加recover=.true.来恢复前边的计算,但是由于中断是突然进行的,所以在恢复的时候产生了错误,所以解决的方法有两个,第一就是不要让它突然中断,比如如果机器有时间限制的话,就在输入文件里面加入时间限制(max_seconds标签),第二个就是看输出文件里面计算到了哪个不可约表示的时候中断了(这种情况更有可能发生,因为经常由于计算量大的缘故,内存常常会溢出,当内存不够用的时候往往会中断),然后看_ph0/prefix.phsave/文件夹下面有没有对应的不可约表示的dynmat.xx.xx.xml和elph.xx.xx.xml,第一个xx表示第几个点,第二个xx表示第几个不可约表示。如果有中断的那个不可约表示对应的xml文件,删除之然后再恢复计算就行了。比如你的输出文件算到第5个不可约表示还没收敛就中断了,但是你的_ph0/preifx.phsave里面如果有dynmat.xx.5.xml或elph.xx.5.xml文件或者兼而有之的话,就把这两个文件改名成别的文件(备份,或者删除也行)。然后再做recover计算。

Error in routine  read_namelists (1):
      bad line in namelist &cell: "6 6 6 0 0 0" (error could be in the previous line)

这是一个很粗心的错误,但是却不容易被发现,所以还是记下来以防再犯,这里是由于直接把relax的文件改成vc-relax,导致找不到&CELL模块,所以导致这个错误。
在算石墨烯声子谱的时候遇到在Gamma点附近虚频的问题,大概是30cm^{-1}左右,通过提高Gamma点附近的声子收敛精度解决。通过加大degauss得到了类似的结果。

dis_spheres_first_wann is larger than num_bands-num_wann+1

在用EPW算graphene声子谱的时候碰到这个问题,是在计算wannier的时候报的,EPW论坛上说是重新编译可以解决,但是我的EPW是好的呀,跑别的例子都没问题,而且我重新编译以后并没有解决问题。发现是因为前面算非自洽的时候忘了指定nbnd导致这里出现问题。

wrong number of nsw

这个问题一般是由截断能的问题导致的,调整wscut即可。wscut是EPW在求解Eliashberg方程的时候用于求和的频率上限,一般取最高声子能量的4~10倍。
*今天的计算里边得到YH_{10}的电声耦合偏低的情况,虽然结果收敛到1.14但是与文献中的结果相差很大,怀疑可能是dis_froz_max取的不够大导致的,之前是23.6大概在费米面以上1个eV现在尝试取到28eV,但是这样就要重新拟合wannier轨道了。
关于wannier拟合中outer window和inner window的选取mail list里边有一段解释

Firstly, you need to appreciate the need for disentanglement:
 For an isolated set of bands (eg valence bands of an insulator) we can directly apply the Marzari-Vanderbilt scheme for minimisating the spread of the wannier functions.
 However, for entangled bands (typically for metals or conduction states) we cannot do this directly and must first extract an optimal set of bands (according to the scheme of Souza, Marzari and Vanderbilt). Which means that at each kpoint we need to find a set of N bands which are some linear combination of the full set of bands. These N 'disentangled' bands are then used to form the N MLWF.

The inner energy window is used to select bloch states which will be included completely in the optimal set. This means that the MLWF will reproduce the true electronic properties at energies within the inner window,b ut outside there is no guarantee of this. So a common usage would be to place the inner window around the fermi energy - thus reproducing the fermi-surface properties. In the graphite example it has been chosen to reproduce all of the valence states, and a few eV above the Fermi energy.

 The outer window is less important. Try running the graphite example without it, and compare the bands.
   This is used to select a set of states out of which the optimal set can be chosen. One reason for doing this is to exclude any high energy bands which might have the same symmetry character as the lower states (and thus mix with them). Sometimes using an outer window can improve the convergence of the disentanglement procedure.

 Before you can set the windows you do need to know something about the bandstructure. One route is to look at the position of the fermi level from the scf calculation, and set the inner window a few eV above this. Obtain the MLWF and compare the bandstructure to the ab-initio one. Then you can decide (maybe by trial and error) to see if you need an outer window.

 Probably. But it is better to understand why those values were chosen. There are examples in the tutorial, which could be modified to look at the effect of changing the window (eg try having no windows) - and also plenty of examples in the past literature - see [http://www.wannier.org/papers.html](http://www.wannier.org/papers.html) - probably start with the CPC article listed first on that page which contains more details on the graphite example.

EPW算完100K之后再计算后面的点的时候遇到这个问题。

根据mailist中的解释,这里是因为计算电荷密度的时候程序试图找对称性,但是提供的晶格不严格对称(比如晶格是六角的,但是晶格参数可能稍微差一点点不是六角晶格,就会出现这个问题,把晶格改成对称的或者使用ibrav来指定对称性就可以解决这个问题。)

 Error in routine pw2wannier90 (512):

这个错误是在做wannier拟合的时候碰到的,当我对拉伸之后的结构做wannier拟合的时候,由于对称性被破坏了,导致在算非自洽的时候,程序自动的取了对称点,导致取点超过了指定的k点以至于进行wannier拟合的时候报这个错误,只需要在做非自洽的时候设nosym = .t.就可以了,其实example里面是指定了的,而且我当时还注意到了,但是没当回事,终于在这里出了问题,排查了好久。。。

高对称点问题
这个问题碰到过一次,但是忘了怎么弄的了,在计算能带的时候,如果连续两个高对称点的x坐标都是负数,就会出现一个问题,band.dat.gnu上x坐标重叠到一个点上,就没法画能带。

     high-symmetry point:  0.0000 0.0000 0.0000   x coordinate   0.0000
     high-symmetry point:  0.0000 0.0000 1.2955   x coordinate   1.2955
     high-symmetry point: -0.0439 0.1049 1.2955   x coordinate   1.4092
     high-symmetry point: -0.2719 0.6500 0.7046   x coordinate   1.4092
     high-symmetry point:  0.0000 0.0000 0.0000   x coordinate   1.4092

第一时间想到的解决办法就是用python脚本生成k点然后复制到输入文件里去。脚本还是很简单的,贴在这里,注意这是python2脚本。但是并没有解决这个问题,囧。

import numpy as np
import os

def gen_high_symmetry_points(num_hk,hk,num_k,kpoints_file):
    kk_coor = np.array([hk[0]])
    for i in range(num_hk-1):
        i = i+1
        for j in range(num_k):
            k_coor = hk[i-1] + (hk[i]-hk[i-1])*(j+1)/num_k
            kk_coor = np.append(kk_coor,k_coor)
    return kk_coor

def write(data,filename,col):
    for i in range(col):
        for j in range(3):
            filename.write('{:.12f}'.format(data[i][j]))
            if j < 2: filename.write('   ')
        filename.write("/n")
    filename.close()

kpoints_file = open(r'kpoints.dat', 'w+')
kk_coor = gen_high_symmetry_points(num_hk,hk,100,kpoints_file)
kk_coor = kk_coor.reshape(401,3)
#print kk_coor
write(kk_coor, kpoints_file, len(kk_coor))

想了一下只有找和上面高对称点等价的点了。结果还是不行,只能去看看他这块是怎么写的,通过grep bands.out相应的输出我们知道这是在bands.f90里边的SUBROUTINE punch_plottable_bands函数来算的,他的一个注释吸引了我的注意

     IF (dxmod > dxmod_save*5) THEN
        !
        !   A big jump in dxmod is a sign that the point xk(:,n) and xk(:,n-1)
        !   are quite distant and belong to two different lines. We put them on
        !   the same point in the graph

也就是说如果高对称点离的太远的话,它会把x坐标糊到一个点上,这也是为什么这个问题不经常碰到的原因,我们把dxmod_save改成100,再重新编译make pp就解决了。

Error in routine createkmap (1):
q-vec not commensurate

EPW在读取q点坐标的时候会做一个验证,在createkmap.f90里面。如果前后相差过大,就会报这个错误。我当时是计算声子取的8x8x1的q点网格,改成6x6x1之后就可以了。

Segmentation fault       divide_class.f90        78

在计算声子谱的时候遇到段错误,提示信息在divide.f90函数的第78行,段错误一般是由于读取数组越界造成的。看了一下divide_class.f90这一段是什么

DO irot=1,nrot
   IF (done(irot)==0) THEN
      nclass=nclass+1
      DO jrot=1,nrot
         CALL coniug_mat(smat(1,1,jrot),smat(1,1,irot),cmat)
         DO krot=1,nrot
            IF (compare_mat(cmat,smat(1,1,krot)).AND.done(krot)==0) THEN
               nelem(nclass)=nelem(nclass)+1
               elem(nelem(nclass),nclass)=krot
               write(6,*) krot
               done(krot)=1
            ENDIF
         ENDDO
      ENDDO
   ENDIF
ENDDO

很明显是用来判断对称性的,函数上边已经规定了done数组的大小是48,挨个打印出来,发现没有问题,怎么回事呢?原来它提示的行数并不一定准确,所以可能是上边那一句出错,于是把上边的nclass什么的也打印出来,发现果然是nelem(nclass)数组越界了,因为这个晶格结构对称性比较高,在算自洽的时候24 sym found,这里应该是QE编写的时候一个bug,明显是没有考虑到这种情况导致的数组越界。目前想到的方法就是稍微调整一下晶格结构,可以改动小数点后第四位也就是0.0001埃就可以了。

记一次和上述情况类似的错误,也是识别对称性相关的。在计算TiSe2超胞对称性非常接近六角晶格的时候,它先是6 Sym. Ops. (no inversion) found,然后在计算声子的时候,程序会先识别对称性来去掉一些简并的representation的计算以减小计算量。然后由于对称性很接近六角晶格但是又有一点差别,导致它出现报错

     Error in routine divide_class (1):
     Wrong classes for C_3v

于是为了减少对称性带来的麻烦,就使用了ibrav = 4来指定对称性,这次上面的报错没有了,但是多了一个新的报错

     Error in routine set_irr_sym_new (1122):
     wrong representation

根据mailist的前人的经验,这里是把PHonon/PH/random_matrix.f90里面的!!#define __UNIFORM_DISTRIB注释去掉来解决这个问题。

     Band Structure Calculation
     CG style diagonalization
     c_bands:  1 eigenvalues not converged

我是在算声子的时候遇到的,在计算某一个q点的时候,因为是double grid的计算,会计算一个非常密的k点的非自洽计算,就遇到这个错误,查了一下在算能带和费米面的时候也会遇到这个问题。估计是因为k点个数太多了,这个判断就出了问题,这里的计算应该是没问题的,所以我们直接把它的判定条件改了重新编译就可以了。这里不改应该也没什么问题,因为这是由于k点个数过多,而有些k点的个别本征值不收敛导致的一个warning,可能只是会多花一点时间。改了会省一点时间,对结果应该也没什么影响,毕竟都是比较高的带不收敛,离费米面比较远。
run_nscf.f90的第95行

ethr_nscf      = 1.0D-9 / nelec

直接改成

ethr_nscf      = 1.0 / nelec

error

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     Error in routine  cdiaghg (42):

贋势问题,可以通过改对角化方法为'cg'解决

在做几何优化的时候,经常会碰到明明有的原子受力还很大的时候,程序就停了,说收敛标准已经满足,尤其是使用bfgs方法优化的时候。
查了一下这个可能是由于程序是把所有受力先加在一起再做平方和来判断的,如果刚好有些原子受力抵消了,就会导致这个结果。明明有些原子受力还很大,但是弛豫就是停了。从别人测试的结果来看,把 cell_dynamics改成damp可以部分解决这个问题。

Catastrophic error: could not set locale "" to allow processing of multibyte characters

这是一个今天遇到的神奇问题,在mac上编译QE的时候突然抱这个错误,猜测可能是因为终端使用的文本编码的问题,但是没有解决,最后我还是换了windows的笔记本编译绕过了这个问题。
