Analytical derivative method in ab initio molecular properties calculations
In order to relate results from quantum chemical calculations to experiment, it
is essential to compute quantities that are directly available from measurements.
Properties describe the "response&...

Predicting the band gap or some other properties of materials before running any calculations
Can we some how predict what sort of modulation will doping do to a material without actually running any calculations. Like perhaps we use the already known DOS of Zn in order to predict whether the ...

Do I have to repeat my previous calculations after increasing 'diago_david_ndir' in the input file of the bandstructure calculations?
After doing the convergence test, 'vc-relax' and 'scf' calculations for my material using Quantum ESPRESSO everything went well. But when I wanted to do a 'bands' calculation for bandstructure I got ...

Are the cell parameters found after doing a 'vc-relax' calculation the ones used to calculate the material properties?
I created a CIF file using the experimental data from literature . After doing a 'vc-relax' calculation do I have to change the lattice parameter, CELL_PARAMETERS and ATOMIC_POSITIONS in my input file,...
