Quantum ESPRESSO Input for a slab

How can I set a Input file for a slab(2D) of material in Quantum ESPRESSO. And what is the difference between the input of bulk material (3D) and slab (2D) of the material ?

I'm pretty sure that quantum espresso did not implement 2D periodicity. If I'm not mistaken CPMD has 2D periodicity, although it can be quite annoying to install it. If you want to do a slab calculation in QEspresso, you will have to keep increasing one of the unit cell dimensions until there is no interaction between the slabs. But it is still a 3D system. There are some tutorials about doing this on QEspresso website.
 

Thread 'Stability of persistent currents in superconductors regardless of temperature'

From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...

Thread 'Instantaneous dipole moment and orbitals'

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
