DESCRIPTION

This example demonstrates how PWTK facilitates the calculation of Hubbard U parameters with the hp.x code. It is a composite example, where the whole calculation of Hubbard U parameters is split over perturbed atoms and q points.

This example is adopted from HP/examples/exemple07 of Quantum ESPRESSO. The system considered is bulk ferromagnetic Ni2MnGa.

BEWARE

This example takes a while to complete.
