<p>I gave the value at zero chemical potential and 300 K, apologies for not being clear about that.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Initially I checked for convergence by comparing the bandstructures from the Wannier interpolation and the VASP SCF calculation. It seems it is a k-point issue, as I have increased the k-mesh and do achieve a much better agreement (A valuable lesson for
me).</p>

<p>Your help and suggestions are much appreciated.</p>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Alex<br>
if the band structure is the same, the results should be comparable.<br>
<br>
There are two possible sources of difference that come to my mind:<br>
1. The Wannier-interpolated band structure is different (e.g. because the Wannierization is not converged). Did you check if WFs are real, and the interpolated band structure is the same as the one calculated with VASP?<br>
<br>
2. The interpolation procedure is different in the two codes. Did you check in both codes that the results do not depend on the density of k-points used for the interpolation/integration?<br>
<br>
Also, the value that you state is evaluated at which chemical potential and temperature?<br>
<br>

<p>I have done a check with one calculation with BoltzTRAP and Boltzwann using PBE+U. Although the trend seems to be the same, the values are not really the same. The BoltzTRAP calculation gives values about 100<span style=""> ¥́</span>V/K higher. Around 500<span style="">

<p>I believe the error must be on my part, but changing the number of WF doesn't change the result. I have kept the Bandstructure frozen till about 1 eV above the lowest conduction band.</p>

<p>Any ideas would be welcome.</p>

<br>
this depends heavily on the charge carrier concentration. The difference due to bipolar effects will be way more pronounced at high temperatures and/or low charge carrier concentrations. The size of the gap merely plays a role in the degenerate limit.<br>
