Dear all, Finally, the 'unknown cell_dofree 'ibrav ' error that occurred during VC relaxation calculation is solved. Initially, I installed pw.x of the old version. Recently, Q.E.7.0 is installed. But the program was running on the previous version. Sorry for the inconvenience. thank you On Thu,

Dear Users I have been trying to calculate a heterostructure with a slab model. I have followed most of the examples given in the forum and tried it still I am getting a metallic band structure. I have used the K-path generation tool provided in "material project" website to generate k-path. I

Dear Satya, it is not that easy (at least for me) to provide an answer to your question using the data you have provided. Maybe the output files (of scf and bands) and a plot of your band structure might help to infer if there is any issue in your calculation. However, before wondering

Yes . Thank you for the clarification. I am trying to match (0001) surface. But I have observed upon relaxing ZnO loosing its symmetry and this may be due to the polar surfaces but experimentally we do observe a band gap. I have also tried dipole correction but results are same. But if I remove Si

Dipole correction might certainly being a point, also given that you are considering a polar system. So you could try to share in/out files including dipole correction. Moreover, you should also try to understand whether or not the metallicity you find is a spurious effect or not. Try, for

Dear Satya Like Giovanni, I also don't know why you don't obtain what you expect. But I want to offer my own penny to the discussion. 1) Due to the well known effect of delocalization errors in GGA-DFT, the band gap of Si is generally reduced to around 0.6 eV. The reduction involves
