Dear all
I want to study the effect to doping Sn into CsPbCl3, here is my input

the input npspalch is in the abinit input variables page but still does not work
for information I am using abinit 8.6.3
Thanks

Found the token NPSPALCH in the input file.
This name is not one of the registered input variable names (see https://www.abinit.org/doc).
Action: check your input file. You likely mistyped the input variable.

for abinit version less that 8.10.x, go in this page :
https://www.abinit.org/packages

and select the right doc depending on the abinit version : for variables of v8.6 , it is here

A+

Dear Jmb
Thanks for the reply
I have checked the right version inputs and it is same but still the computer stops after a couple times of optimization
Regards

Nawzad

Dear Nawzad,
OK, but now it runs then. What is your error message? Sounds like more a convergence problem or something else more classical?
Regarding doing alchemical, be carreful if you look at the electronic structure, it might not give a good result, see for example:
https://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/1 ... .97.174108
Best wishes,
Eric

Dear Eric
Thanks for the reply
the error message is the following

Dear Nawzad,
To me it is not possible that the program runs a few relaxation steps without complaining about the input file and stops about a wrong input variable after passing the initial input variables test...
Could you send your output file and eventually the log file?
Thanks,
Eric

The code stops at the level of the parser hence it does not enter the SCF cycle.
As mentioned in the error message:

Found the token NPSPALCH in the input file.
This name is not one of the registered input variable names (see https://www.abinit.org/doc).

NPSPALCH is an internal variable (the name starts with %)
that is computed by the code using ntypat and ntypalch thus it's not possible to specify npspalch in the input file.

See examples at: https://docs.abinit.org/variables/gstate/#mixalch

Dear Eric
You are right, it does not go any step of optimization with npspalch, I was confused

Thanks a lot

The code stops at the level of the parser hence it does not enter the SCF cycle.
As mentioned in the error message:

Found the token NPSPALCH in the input file.
This name is not one of the registered input variable names (see https://www.abinit.org/doc).

NPSPALCH is an internal variable (the name starts with %)
that is computed by the code using ntypat and ntypalch thus it's not possible to specify npspalch in the input file.

See examples at: https://docs.abinit.org/variables/gstate/#mixalch

Dear gmatteo
You are right the, I have added % and it runs

Thanks a lot
