Dear QE Users,
I tried to calculate band structure of Z1 phase of Fe3Ni by using procedure mentioned in QE example in which I am getting very few bands below the fermi level in valance band. Is this type of band structure normal or it shows abnormality or any error in calculation? scf file of present calculation is given below and image of band structure is also attached herewith. Kindly provide your suggestions for the same.&control calculation='scf'
restart_mode='from_scratch',
tstress = .true.
tprnfor = .true.
prefix='Fe0.75Ni0.25',
wf_collect=.true., pseudo_dir = '/usr/share/espresso/pseudo/', outdir='/tmp/'

&system
ibrav= 6, celldm(1)= 7, celldm(3)=2.828, nat=4,ntyp=2,
ecutwfc =70, ecutrho= 700, occupations='smearing', smearing='marzari-vanderbilt', degauss=0.01
