Subject: problems computing cholesky decomposition error while running
bands calculation using QE 7.1 - reg


*Dear QE users,*

I am trying to calculate the band structure of a material that contains a
substitutional metal defect and a metal vacancy. However, I am encountering
a Cholesky decomposition error during the bands calculation. I have used
the same pseudopotential to perform calculations on a similar structure
containing only the substitutional metal defect, and in that case I did not
encounter any problems. I am also attaching the files here. I used PAW
pseudopotentials from Quantum ESPRESSO database.

Could anyone please suggest what might be going wrong? Any guidance would
be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. Regards
