An issue with your input is that you place the point where the external saw-tooth potential has a discontinuity in its derivative at emaxpos = 0.5 (it is in crystal units, so because edir = 3, it means that the potential depends on z and the discontinuity is at (0,0,a/2)). However, the CO2

Hello Sergey, that is strange. I have tried some simple tests too, but I could not reproduce your issue. An equivalent way to activate the scan mgga functionals is to put: input_dft = 'MGGA_X_SCAN MGGA_C_SCAN' You can try with that, but if it still doesn't work, I think I would need more details

Your suggestion (input_dft = 'MGGA_X_SCAN MGGA_C_SCAN') worked. "Got the code to spit out a number" is not the same as "produced a valid result". I would wait for an answer from someone knowledgeable on this subject before spending too much CPU time in this case! Or even better open an

I don't understand too. I have tried a couple of tests both with 'SCAN' and with the explicit form 'MGGA_X_SCAN' and they both worked in the same way. If your code has not been modified, there must be something very specific to your input that causes the bug. I'll try to investigate more.
