- atom.config file describles the cell box, atomic postitions, etc.
- 2 atoms per unit cell.
- LATTICE: the header of the lattice vector.
- POSITION: the header of the atomic positions.
- Zatom: the atomic number of this atom.
- x1, x2, x3 are the fractional coordinate of this atom
- imv1, imv2, imv3 indicate whether this atom will move in x, y, z directions, 1 means move; 0 means not move.

JOB = RELAX
IN.PSP1 = Si.SG15.PBE.UPF
IN.ATOM = atom.config
RELAX_DETAIL = 1 100 0.005 #IMTH, NSTEP, FORCE_TOL
ECUT = 50
ECUT2= 200
MP_N123 = 9 9 9 0 0 0
- The product of the two integers on the first line must equal to the number of GPU to run PWmat.
- ECUT is the plane wave cutoff energy of wavefunction (in //Ryd//, note: 1 //Ryd// = 13.6057 //eV//)
- MP_N123 is the Monkhorst-Pack grids to generate the reduced k-points, so no additional k-points file is required.
- RELAX_DETAIL: controls the atomic relaxation details.
- IMTH: the method of relaxtion, 1: conjugated gradient.
- NSTEP: the maximum number of relaxation stpes.
- FORCE_TOL: the force tolenrance for the maximal redidual force (eV/A).
Si.SG15.PBE.UPF
Si.SG15.PEB.UPF is the pseudopotential file.
===== Calculations =====
- You can submit PWmat tasks in different ways:
mpirun -np 4 PWmat | tee output
Run the command directly
#!/bin/bash
#PBS -N SCF
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=4
#PBS -q batch
#PBS -l walltime=100:00:00
ulimit -s unlimited
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
mpirun -np 4 PWmat | tee output
Submit the task with a pbs script
- For RELAXATION calculation, files to watch during relaxations.
> RELAXSTEPS: concisely reports about the atomic relaxation steps. A typical RELAXSTEPS file looks like:

> REPORT: more detailed information about every electronic and ionic step
- Other important files.
> final.config: holds the structure of the last ionic step, the structural result (also very important for restarting a relaxation)
> MOVEMENT: holds the structures of every ionic step during relaxations.
