INTRODUCTION
Converts the output files produced by pw.x to the input files for BerkeleyGW.
You cannot use USPP, PAW, or spinors in a pw.x run for BerkeleyGW.
You cannot use "K_POINTS gamma" in a pw.x run for BerkeleyGW.
Use "K_POINTS { tpiba | automatic | crystal }" even for the
Gamma-point calculation.
It is recommended to run a pw.x "bands" calculation with "K_POINTS crystal"
and a list of k-points produced by kgrid.x, which is a part of BerkeleyGW
package (see BerkeleyGW documentation for details).
You can also run a pw.x "nscf" calculation instead of "bands", but in this
case pw.x may generate more k-points than provided in the input file of pw.x.
If this is the case for your calculation you will get errors in BerkeleyGW.
Examples showing how to run BerkeleyGW on top of Quantum ESPRESSO including
the input files for pw.x and pw2bgw.x are distributed together with the
BerkeleyGW package.
Structure of the input data:
============================
&INPUT_PW2BGW
...
/
Namelist: INPUT_PW2BGW |
prefix |
STRING |
Status: |
MANDATORY
|
prefix of files saved by program pw.x
|
outdir |
STRING |
Default: |
'./'
|
the scratch directory where the massive data-files are written
|
real_or_complex |
INTEGER |
Default: |
2
|
1 | 2
1 for real flavor of BerkeleyGW (for systems with inversion symmetry and
time-reversal symmetry) or 2 for complex flavor of BerkeleyGW (for systems
without inversion symmetry and time-reversal symmetry)
|
symm_type |
STRING |
Default: |
'cubic'
|
'cubic' | 'hexagonal'
type of crystal system, 'cubic' for space groups 1 ... 142 and 195 ... 230
and 'hexagonal' for space groups 143 ... 194. Only used if ibrav = 0 in a
pw.x run. Written to BerkeleyGW WFN, RHO, VXC and VNL files but no longer
used (except in SAPO code in BerkeleyGW). You can use the default value for
all systems. Don't set to different values in different files for the same
system or you will get errors in BerkeleyGW.

wfng_flag |

Default: |
.FALSE.
|
write wavefunctions in G-space to BerkeleyGW WFN file
|
wfng_file |
STRING |
Default: |

|
overwrite k-grid parameters in BerkeleyGW WFN file.
If pw.x input file contains an explicit list of k-points,
the k-grid parameters in the output of pw.x will be set to zero.
Since sigma and absorption in BerkeleyGW both need to know the
k-grid dimensions, we patch these parameters into BerkeleyGW WFN file
