polarization BUG?

Post by mina » Wed May 04, 2011 9:39 pm

Hello Professor jzwanzig,
i am working on FeTiO3 poperties.i have calculated polarization of it by LDA but when i wanted to calculate polarization by LDA+U i have a bug.would you please read my input file and tell me what i have done wrong?
input file:
xred 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000

jpawu 0.1 0.0 0.0 ev
my BUG:
m_bz_mesh.F90:393:BUG
Not allowed value for kptopt: 2
Action : contact ABINIT group.

Thank you for your kindness.
Best regards.
Mina.

You are using kptopt 2, which uses time reversal symmetry only, but no spatial symmetries. Try it with kptopt 4, which uses only space symmetries but not time reversal. If that doesn't work, try it with kptopt 3, which uses no symmetries at all.
