JOB = NONSCF
IN.PSP1 = Si.SG15.PBE.UPF
IN.ATOM = atom.config
ECUT = 50
IN.VR = T
IN.KPT = T
Note
  1. Read IN.VR from previous SCF calculation. To copy OUT.VR and OUT.FERMI from the SCF calculation of example Si SCF Calculation to your current working drectory and rename IN.VR.
  2. IN.KPT is the k-points file which PWmat will use for band structure calculation, one can use "split_kp.x" utility to get it. You should prepare an input file for "split_kp.x", which can be named "gen.kpt":
      BAND                    # COMMENT line
10 # number of k-points between X and R
0.500 0.000 0.000 X # reciprocal coordinates; label 'X' for X point
0.500 0.500 0.500 R
10
0.500 0.500 0.500 R
0.500 0.500 0.000 M

0.500 0.500 0.000 M
0.000 0.000 0.000 G
10
0.000 0.000 0.000 G
0.500 0.500 0.500 R
      split_kp.x gen.kpt

After running "split_kp.x gen.kpt", it will generate "IN.KPT" and "HIGH_SYMMETRY_POINT" (high-symmetry points information) files.

Si.SG15.PBE.UPF

提示

Si.SG15.PEB.UPF is the pseudopotential file.

Calculations

  1. You can submit PWmat tasks in different ways:
   mpirun -np 4 PWmat | tee output
Note

Run the command directly


   #!/bin/bash
#PBS -N SCF
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=4
#PBS -q batch
#PBS -l walltime=100:00:00

ulimit -s unlimited
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

mpirun -np 4 PWmat | tee output
Note

Submit the task with a pbs script

  1. After NONSCF calculation, you can run "plot_band_structure.x" to obtain band structure in your current working directory. Then it will generate the following files: bandstructure.eps, bandstructure.png, bandstructure.pdf and bandstructure_1.txt (the data file of band structure), which can be used to plot band by origin or gnuplot. Note, for "spin=2", another data file bandstructure_2.txt will be generated.
   plot_band_structure.x
