After the calculation of scf I ran a calculation DOS, but it gives an error as follows (I want to calculate the DOS with a hybrid potential)

    $\begingroup$ Was your SCF run a success? Did you get all the wfc#.dat and charge-density.dat files inside the outdir/CN.save/ directory? I ran SCF and subsequent dos calculations for a smaller system using your input file structure and I didn't face any problems running it. I used QE v.7.2. Maybe consider the new stable version instead of v.6.6 $\endgroup$ Jun 6 at 11:35
  • $\begingroup$ Kindly add any additional details at the end of your question as an edit instead of posting it as an answer. And from the screenshot you have provided, it seems like you used a different input file than the one you have shown here. For example, the prefix of the scf run in your shown input file is CN. However, in the screenshot, it is CNT(11.0). Kindly provide the exact input file that is creating the problem. If all other parameters are correct, then just fix the prefix (keep it same for all calculation). $\endgroup$ Jun 6 at 12:15
  • $\begingroup$ For running a DOS calculation, you first need to do an nscf calculation on the same system. The order of calculations is optimization => scf => nscf => dos. And keep the prefix consistent across these runs. $\endgroup$ Jun 6 at 15:58

    $\begingroup$ @HemanthHaridas, the OP is using a hybrid functional. NSCF calculation is not supported in the case of hybrid functional as explained here. That's why one of the option is to do dense scf grid => dos. $\endgroup$ Jun 6 at 16:36

There are a few problems here. First of all, you are using a different prefix for NSCF calculations than the one used in the SCF calculation (OP later fixed it).

Then after inspecting the SLURM batch file, I see a typo. You are missing a -in switch after dos.x. So, the correct way to run Quantum ESPRESSO executables is:

mpirun -np $SLURM_NTASKS dos.x -in DOS.in > DOS.out

You may use -inp,-i, or < instead of -in.
