[Wannier] Wannier90 and quantum espresso and spin orbit coupling

Dear Wannier90 experts,

I am relatively new to Wannier90 and also Quantum Espresso, but I need 
for development some example file for monolayer MoS2 including Spin 
Orbit coupling.
I will use the files generated by Wannier90 to interpolate the 
bandstructure and TB coefficients to a 1024x1024 grid using a custom 
code (needs to be 2^n points).

I used files from www.materialscloud.org as basis for the calculation I 
only replaced the pseudo potentials with relativistic potentials and I 
increased the cutoff energy, since I get otherwise non positive S in 
quantum espresso.

My problem is, that one Spin component behaves fine and the other one 
shows strong oscillations around the gamma point. (visible the 
bandstructure plotted by my code, but also in the wannier post 
processing plot, both attached). It gets better for more iterations, but 
what is the reason  for the poor convergence.

I hope, this is the right list, since it might be also a problem with 
quantum espresso, but I did not want to cross post.

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards,

Marten Richter
