The normal way the core density is generated by lcore is only within the Muffin tins. If the file .lcore is present the core density outside the Muffin tins is approximated using dstart. It should be in the User Guide. If the core density noticeably spills out of the Muffin tins during init, the

I am quite disturbed by some aspects of this thread. Trying to adjust the U, the C in mBJ or something else in order to get a better "fit" to the band gap verges on misleading science. If you are using the band-gap as a calibrant and then intend to look at some other property, e.g. charge transfer

I don't understand. In a previous email you mentioned an experimental gap of 0.1 eV, and now you want to approach 1 eV. So, what is the experimental value? FT On Wednesday 2016-11-23 12:40, Abderrahmane Reggad wrote: Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2016 12:40:55 From: Abderrahmane Reggad

As I already wrote previously, 0.06 and 0.1 eV are very close to each other such that it makes absolutely no sense to try to improve further the agreement. Also, as mentioned by L. Marks, you need to figure out if your procedure of searching for the method giving the correct band gap is

To Prof Tran Since the unmodified version of Beck-Johnson allows me to get 0.06 ev which corresponds to the value of C parameter equal to the unity (01). I think that to increase of this value would improve the gap value to 1 ev. The question is: Which value for C parameter shall I use to get

The total energy is not variational with respect to the number of k-points, i.e. a lower total energy does not mean a better calculation when you compare 2 k-meshes. Clearly the 1000k calculation should be better. PS: The size of the basis set is variational: a larger RKmax has to give you a
