[Pw_forum] poor k-points convergence, ghost states ?

[Eduardo Ariel Menendez Proupin]

Hi,
I am trying to reproduce a paper on AgSbTe. I am having problems to obtain
convergence against the number of k-points. With a supercell of 8 atoms, I
do not have convergence with 26x26x26 Monkhorst-Pack mesh. I think that this
is a quite dense mesh and I should have obtained convergence much before. My
student  is also having troble to complete the band calculations.
I am using BHS pseudopotentials for Sb and Te, and US for Ag.  I suspect
that I have ghost states. Is there other possible reasonable cause?
Thanks
