Why does Quantum ESPRESSO need 13TB of RAM for a (3x3x3)nm supercell?
I made a 3nm×3nm×3nm supercell mesh of pbs atoms which contains about 2000 atoms and QE gave me a 13256 GB requirement of RAM. What am I doing wrong? Many people have already done this calculation, ...

Can deformation potential theory be applied to 2D and 1D systems?
I was pointed towards the use of the Deformation Potential (DP) theory to calculate the electron relaxation time in a previous question.
However, I still have a doubt regarding its applicability to 2D ...
