[Pw_forum] 答复: problem in HSE band structure calculation

Dear Apsi,

I have attached my input file but the out file is too large.

ecutwfc=30 is based on Standard Solid State Pseudopotentials (SSSP).

And  Giuseppe told me that " You must use a minimal q-point mesh, nqx1=1, nqx2=1, nqx3=1,
because k+q  must be equivalent to some other k in the k-points list. If the cell is small this can lead to unconverged results."

Thanks.

Clarence

Dear Clarence,

   How could we know, without having any details about your system, pseudo
potentials, ...? If you could provide them, maybe also the output as
attachment if it is not too large. Is the nqx1 = nqx2 = nqx3 = 1
sufficient? 30 Ry, hmm, this must be some "easy element" for the pseudo
potentials.

     Greetings,

        apsi
