Common Questions for Beginners

Questions How can I run pw.x without typing the full path? 1. How can I run pw.x without typing the full path (/home/…/pw.x)? At first, you may need to run QE using the full path:

2. Graphene Band Structure Calculation

This tutorial continues from the graphene SCF calculation and calculates the electronic band structure along the high-symmetry path \(\Gamma \rightarrow M \rightarrow K \rightarrow \Gamma\). The important point is that the band calculation reuses the converged ground-state data from the previous SCF calculation.

1. Graphene SCF Calculation

In this example, we perform a self-consistent field (SCF) calculation for graphene using QE. The SCF calculation determines the ground-state electron density and provides the starting point for later calculations such as band structures and density of states.
