I am a new user for Quantum Espresso(QE). Recently I have installed Quantum Espresso in my system. Now i am struggling to give input file in QE. How to generate input file in QE?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It seems that their website provides a tutorial. Why don't you follow that.
Also they say the graphical interface can be used to generate input data or it can be taken from some other software.
 
Thank you Kholdstare.
Yes they have given the tutorial in their website.Their tutorial describes general structure of input file. And I could run the default example files which are given in Quantum Espresso (QE). But my doubt is how to create my own input file for my chosen material.

They have a dedicated QE forum. You might have better luck asking there. (though looking at the vagueness of your Question I doubt it.)
