1 Introduction

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 (note: all directories are relative to the root directory of QUANTUM ESPRESSO).

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 in directory Doc/; or consult the web site: http://www.quantum-espresso.org.
