Dear users,
I thought it may be of some interest to mention this Gamma-point
calculations. Maybe this was signaled before on this forum.
I found that using 'gamma_only = .true.' does not always converge for
large systems. It may go past the disentaglement but in the
wannierisation step it gives pretty large spreads and may not converge.
If I use the default 'gamma_only = .false.' I avoid this problem most of
the time, even if it somewhat slower. It also gives smaller spreads in
the first step - disentanglement.
The examples I used for this are graphene substrates with up to 288 C
atoms, on which I have somewhere between 6 to 36 chemisorbed atoms.
