Dear Developers , 

Thanks for your previous help , I could get my band gap in LDA and PBE, As I have checked , should I use PBE pseudo for HSE as well ? 
and do I need to use this part ? cos It starts giving me error in out put file 

  input_dft='hse', nqx1= 2, nqx2= 2, nqx3= 2     , I am not sure how I have to choose Pseudo ?  


Thanks

Dear Fariba,

The Kohn-Sham (please, not kohen) orbitals produced by pp.x are not orthonormalized in general, because of the pseudo-potentials and projection techniques (PAW). However, practically,  you may safely assume they are orthogonal and almost normalized (self-overlaps are not far from 1.0). This is especially true for norm-conserving PP (by construction, the wavefunctions supposed to preserve norm), and, in slightly smaller extent, for ultra-soft pseudopotentials. For PAW wavefunctions the trick is to reconstruct full wavefunction from the projection, so it is S|psi>. If i remember it correctly, the ortogonality will then be for <psi_i|S|psi_j> = delta_ij. However you can obtain S|psi> with pp.x as well as |psi>. 
Please anyone correct me if i'm wrong at some point.

Thank you,
Alexey

Dear All, 

Would you please let me know if the kohen -sham orbitals ,which are obtained by pp.x, are normalized, orthogonalized or orthonormalized?

Dear Saeede

What is the unreasonable point ? If you meant the band gap energy you
should have compared the band gap energy of your system with some other
systems then see the trends ! have you checked it out ?
Also, Indium arsenide's band gap is too small and DFT may not predict it as
accurate as you desire.



Best Wishes, m

in order to do what? KS orbitals obey a generalized orthonormality
relation <\psi_i|S|\psi_j> = \delta_{ij} with ultrasoft pseudopotentials
or PAW.
