<font color="#000000"><font><font face="trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Dear QE users,<br>I am interested in charge transition levels in defect calculations. I have manged to calculate defect formation energies for neutral and charged states but now I want to calculate the caharge transition levels according to methods proposed by C. G. van de Walle in </font></font></font>J. Appl.

<br>I have seen form previous works using HSE that this can be done but since hybrids as implemented in Quantum ESPRESSO cannot do band structure calculations yet I wanted to request for assistance on nhow to get the the band gaps using HSE in Quantum ESPRESSO and also the fermi level.<br>
<br>I am also aware that there is way of getting the band gap from the KS energy levels which are the outputs of a pw.x scf calculation. looking at the out put file there is this section <br><br>k =-0.5000-0.5000-0.2500 ( 6120 PWs) bands (ev):<br>
