Dear Eduardo! Thanks for you answer, I think, I got satisfying answer for my first question. > A/ If supercell B is the double of A, then you have an even number of > electrons, unless you charge the system. > I think that you cannot have such band with just one electron in supercell B, >

Dear Evgeny, 1. Let's consider a supercell with odd number of electron with nspin=1 (non-polarized calculation). The result should probably be incorrect, but how would the error manifest? I'm specifically interested in errors for electron state structure and total energy. A/ The calculation may
