Dear users,
I work on ZnS, I faced with a problem. When i use a unit cell with 2 atom
every things is OK and the bandstructure has a very good agreement with
previous calculation but when i use bigger unit cell every things go wrong,
Where is the problem of my calculation?
I set my input files for a unit cell with 2 & 16 atoms at below.

&SYSTEM
                       ibrav = 2,
                   celldm(1) =10.221527872,
                      nbnd = 50,
                         nat = 2,
                        ntyp = 2,
                     ecutwfc = 40 ,
                     ecutrho = 160 ,
                 occupations = 'fixed' ,
 /
 &ELECTRONS
                  conv_thr = 0.0000001 ,
                  diago_full_acc = .TRUE.,
 /
ATOMIC_SPECIES
   Zn    65.409   zn_pz.upf
   S     32.066   s_pz.upf
ATOMIC_POSITIONS {angstrom}
 Zn     0.0   0.0   0.0
 S      1.352  1.352  1.352
