This guide covers the usage of the PWscf (Plane-Wave Self-Consistent Field) package, a core component of the QUANTUM ESPRESSO distribution. Further documentation, beyond what is provided in this guide, can be found in the directory PW/Doc/, containing a copy of this guide.
Important notice: due to the lack of time and of manpower, this manual is only partially updated and may contain outdated information.
This guide assumes that you know the physics
that PWscf describes and the methods it implements.
It also assumes that you have already installed,
or know how to install, QUANTUM ESPRESSO. If not, please read
the general User's Guide for QUANTUM ESPRESSO, found in
directory Doc/ two levels above the
one containing this guide; or consult the web site:
http://www.quantum-espresso.org.
People who want to modify or contribute to PWscf should read the Developer Manual: Doc/developer_man.pdf.
