it would be the band gap of a different structure. <br>
it would depend on how different the structure would be with a
different functional.<br>

<br>
gamma extrapolation is a way to deal with the ill
defined value of the exchange integral between wfcs at k
and k+q in the limit of q->0.<br>
if you use a truncated coulomb interaction that limit
is not ill defined.<br>
no need to use the gamma_extrapolation option<br>

</a><b>Besides that, </b>I<b> </b>have some
observations and suggestions for you based in
the input file you send, so you can realize
why does QE is failing when trying to simulate
your system:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1 - Check if you really need to apply
smearing, since this technique is intended
to be useful for metallic systems, and
Anatase is cleary not a metallic system, in
fact, is more a Wide-gap or Insulator -type
system.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2 - You do want to perform a vc-relax
calculation, but nothing are specified in
the cards &IONS and &CELL. There
is not cell relaxing algorithm specified
(BFGS? MD?)</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3 - The card &ATOMIC_POSITIONS shows
nothing: No atoms, no cell to relax.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>4 - In the card &SYSTEM , <b>ecutwfc
= 40.</b> This, in my humble opinion, a
very poor cutoff for a serious calculation.
Do a ecutwfc convergence test before attempt
your system.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>5 - Please take in account that a hybrid
calculation is VERY expensive in terms of
computational demand, so if you set up a
vc-relax calculation using hybrid PPS you
must test if <b style="font-size:13px">nqx1
= 1, 2 or 3 really makes a difference.</b></div>
<div><b style="font-size:13px"><br>
</b></div>
<div><b>6 - For some systems, input_dft=HSE is
faster than </b><b>input_dft = "PBE0".
Check if that could be your case.</b></div>
<div><b><br>
</b></div>
<div>By the way, are you sure Anatase has a
cubic crystal structure? Does XCrysden show
the correct structure for your input?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
