required and recommened variables

&unit

Mandatory: none

&units
  unit_length='Angstrom'
  unit_energy='eV'
  unit_time='fs'
/

This namelist specifies the unit system used in the input and the output files. If you do not specify the units for some physical quantities, atomic unit will be used for those quantities.

For isolated systems (specified by iperiodic = 0 in &system), DOS and PDOS are written by a.u. or 1/eV according to unit_energy. For other output files, the units are basically Angstrom/eV/fs at the present.

&calculation

Mandatory: calc_mode

&calculation
  calc_mode = 'GS'
/

The variable calc_mode should be one of 'GS', 'RT', and 'GS-RT'. Note that the ground state ('GS') and real time ('RT') calculations should be done separately and sequentially for isolated systems (specified by iperiodic = 0 in &system). For periodic systems (specified by iperiodic = 3 in &system), both ground state and real time calculations should be carried out as a single task (calc_mode = 'GS_RT').

&control

Mandatory: none

&control
  sysname = 'C2H2'
/

'C2H2' defined by surname = 'C2H2' will be used in the filenames of output files.

&system

Mandatory: iperiodic, al, nstate, nelem, natom

&system
  iperiodic = 0
  al = 16d0, 16d0, 16d0
  nstate = 5
  nelem = 2
  natom = 4
  nelec = 10
/

iperiodic = 0 indicates that isolated boundary condition is assumed. al = 16d0, 16d0, 16d0 specifies the lengths of three sides of a rectangular parallelepiped where the grid points are prepared. nstate = 8 indicates the number of Kohn-Sham orbitals to be solved. nelec = 10 indicate the number of valence electrons in the system. nelem = 2 and natom = 4 indicate the number of elements and the number of atoms in the system, respectively.

&pseudo

Mandatory: pseudo_file, iZatom

&pseudo
  iZatom(1)=6
  iZatom(2)=1
  pseudo_file(1)='C_rps.dat'
  pseudo_file(2)='H_rps.dat'
  Lmax_ps(1)=1
  Lmax_ps(2)=0
  Lloc_ps(1)=1
  Lloc_ps(2)=0
/

Information on pseudopotentials. iZatom(1) = 6 indicates the atomic number of the element 1. pseudo_file(1) = 'C_rps.dat' indicates the filename of the pseudopotential of element 1. Lmax_ps(1) = 1 and Lloc_ps(1) = 1 indicate the maximum angular momentum of the pseudopotential projector and the angular momentum of the pseudopotential that will be treated as local, respectively.

&rgrid

Mandatory: dl or num_rgrid

&rgrid
  dl = 0.25d0, 0.25d0, 0.25d0
/

dl = 0.25d0, 0.25d0, 0.25d0 specifies grid spacing in three Cartesian directions. The grid spacing can also be specified by num_rgrid that specifies the number of grid points.

&scf

Mandatory: nscf

&scf
  ncg = 4
  nscf = 1000
/

ncg is number of CG iteration for the Khon-Sham equation. nscf is number of scf iterations. If </code>&system/iperiodic</code> is 0, the ground state calculation ends before the scf iterations reachs to nscf when a value related to the convergence goes below a threshold.

&atomic_coor

Mandatory: none

&atomic_coor
'C'    0.000000    0.000000    0.599672  1
'H'    0.000000    0.000000    1.662257  2
'C'    0.000000    0.000000   -0.599672  1
'H'    0.000000    0.000000   -1.662257  2
/

List of atomic coordinates. Last column corresponds to kinds of elements.

additional options

&parallel

Mandatory: none

&parallel
  nproc_ob = 1
  nproc_domain = 1,1,1
  nproc_domain_s = 1,1,1
/

Followings are explanation of each variable.

• nproc_ob: Number of MPI parallelization for orbitals that related to the wavefunction calculation.
• nproc_domain(3)': Number of MPI parallelization for each direction in real-space that related to the wavefunction calculation.
• nproc_domain_s(3)': Number of MPI parallelization for each direction in real-space that related to the electron density calculation.

Defaults are 0 for nproc_ob, (0/0/0) for nproc_domain, and (0/0/0) for nproc_domain_s. If users use the defauls, automatic proccess assignment is done. Users can also specify nproc_ob, nproc_domain, and nproc_domain_s manually. In that case, followings must be satisfied.

• nproc_ob</code> * nproc_domain(1) * nproc_domain(2)* nproc_domain(3)=total number of processors
• nproc_domain_s(1) * nproc_domain_s(2)* nproc_domain_s(3)=total number of processors
• nproc_domain_s(1) is a multiple of nproc_domain(1)
• nproc_domain_s(2) is a multiple of nproc_domain(2)
• nproc_domain_s(3) is a multiple of nproc_domain(3)

&hartree

Mandatory: none

&hartree
  meo = 3
  num_pole_xyz = 2,2,2
/

meo specifies the order of multipole expansion of electron density that is used to prepare boundary condition for the Hartree potential.

• meo=1: Single pole is set.
• meo=2: Multipoles are set to the position of atoms.
• meo=3: Multipoles are set to the center of mass of electrons in cuboids.

num_pole_xyz(3) are number of multipoles when meo is 3. A default for meo is 3, and defaults for num_pole_xyz are (0,0,0). When default is set, number of multipoles is calculated automatically.

&analysis

Mandatory: none

&analysis
  out_psi = 'y'
  out_dns = 'y'
  out_dos = 'y'
  out_pdos = 'y'
  out_elf = 'y'
/

These namelists specify the output files.
