Espresso

Espresso(
    input_atoms: Atoms | None = None,
    preset: str | None = None,
    parallel_info: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
    template: EspressoTemplate | None = None,
    **kwargs
)

Bases: GenericFileIOCalculator

A wrapper around the ASE Espresso calculator that adjusts input_data parameters and allows for the use of presets. Templates are used to set the binary and input/output file names.

Parameters:

  • input_atoms (Atoms | None, default: None ) –

    The input Atoms object to be used for the calculation.

  • preset (str | None, default: None ) –

    The name of a YAML file containing a list of parameters to use as a "preset" for the calculator. quacc will automatically look in the ESPRESSO_PRESET_DIR (default: quacc/calculators/espresso/presets), The .yaml extension is not necessary. Any user-supplied calculator **kwargs will override any corresponding preset values.

  • parallel_info (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    parallel_info is a dictionary passed to the ASE Espresso calculator profile. It is used to specify prefixes for the command line arguments. See the ASE documentation for more details.

  • template (EspressoTemplate | None, default: None ) –

    ASE calculator templace which can be used to specify which espresso binary will be used in the calculation. This is taken care of by recipe in most cases.

  • **kwargs

    Additional arguments to be passed to the Espresso calculator. Takes all valid ASE calculator arguments, such as input_data and kpts. Refer to ase.calculators.espresso.Espresso for details. Note that the full input must be described; use {"system":{"ecutwfc": 60}} and not the {"ecutwfc": 60} short-hand.

Returns:

  • None

        profile. It is used to specify prefixes for the command line arguments.
        See the ASE documentation for more details.

        binary will be used in the calculation. This is taken care of by recipe
        in most cases.
    **kwargs
        Additional arguments to be passed to the Espresso calculator. Takes all valid

    binary: str = "pw",
    test_run: bool = False,
    autorestart: bool = False,
    outdir: str | Path | None = None,
)

Bases: EspressoTemplate

A wrapper around the ASE Espresso template that allows for the use of other binaries such as pw.x, ph.x, cp.x, etc.

Parameters:

  • binary (str, default: 'pw' ) –

    The name of the espresso binary to use. This is used to set the input/output file names. By default we fall back to "pw".

  • test_run (bool, default: False ) –

    If True, a test run is performed to check that the calculation input_data is correct or to generate some files/info if needed.

  • autorestart (bool, default: False ) –

    If True, the calculation will automatically switch to 'restart' if this calculator performs more than one run. (ASE-relax/MD/NEB)

  • outdir (str | Path | None, default: None ) –

    The directory that will be used as outdir in the input_data. If None, the directory will be set to the current working directory.

read_results

read_results(directory: Path | str) -> dict[str, Any]

The function that should be used instead of the one in ASE EspressoTemplate to read the output file. It calls a customly defined read function. It also adds the "energy" key to the results dictionnary if it is not present. This is needed if the calculation is not made with pw.x.

Parameters:

  • directory (Path | str) –

    The directory in which to read the output file.

Returns:

  • dict

    The results dictionnary
