Dear Éric Germaneau,
I used your input file (Si.pbe-rrkj.UPF) to do a test, but it reported error and stopped lastly.
k = 0.4583 0.4583 0.4583 band energies (ev):
************************************************************************
************************************************************************
************************************************************************
******************************************************
highest occupied, lowest unoccupied level (ev): -1104.4202-1136.6919
....
MKL ERROR: Parameter 4 was incorrect on entry to DLASCL.
{ 0, 0}: On entry to
DSTEQR parameter number -14 had an illegal value
{ 1, 1}: On entry to
DSTEQR parameter number -14 had an illegal value
What is wrong?
And I used the Si.pbe-n-nc.UPF and it still deverge (Error in routine c_bands (1):
too many bands are not converged). In this test, I just replace pp file without changing
other paremeters. I have done too much tests on Ecutoff and K_points, but the problem still holds.
Please help me sovle it, thanks in anvance!
