[Pw_forum] error band structure of ZnO

[debbichi mourad]

Dear QE users,

I am a new user of QE.  when I went to test the band structure calculation on material ZnO (ibrav=4) with this input file ,I got error band structue (flatt band dispersion).

 calculation='bands'
    pseudo_dir = '$PSEUDO_DIR/',
    outdir='$TMP_DIR/',
    prefix='ZnO'

  ibrav = 4, nbnd =18,
                   celldm(1) = 6.213,
                  
 celldm(3) = 1.610,
                         nat = 4,
                        ntyp = 2,
