Re: [Wien] Graphene bandstructure
Hi Xavier, Thanks for attaching the cif file. You are right that I didn't consider any particular symmetry. I just built the structure with the known lattice parameters from the literature. I thought if I have correct structure I would get correct SCF result even if I don't take advantage of all available symmetry, even though it takes more time. Anyway, I will try with this structure now.

The angle is 60° and not 120° and it seems that you do not take benefit of the symetry. Here is a cif file of graphene based on the graphite structure in which I have simply increase the c parameter.

Re: [Wien] Graphene bandstructure
Thank you very much for your suggestions/comments. a) I will create a new structure with H symmetry. b) I actually answered in one of my previous emails that I have calculated the gap from bandstructure. Using xmgrace I zoomed in on K point and found that there is a gap. I tried to use :GAP as you mentioned before but mesh size was probably not compatible with the pattern you mentioned, so I didn't get anything.

It should be a hexagonal lattice (H and not P) and the angle gamma should be 120 and not 60, and also the positions need to be changed then. With an "H" lattice, wien2k keeps the symmetry properly and is less affected by rounding errors. b) And secondly, you did not answer, how you got the "gap" (from scf-file, output1 or bandstructure or DOS ???) Forget DOS (there is a smearing parameter set by default !) when you use a H lattice and meshes which can be divided by 3 (because K has 1/3,1/3,0 coordinates and only with a mesh like 3 3 1, 6 6 1, 9 9 1, ... the "K"-point is in the mesh), you can use :GAP from scf, otherwise NOT.

Re: [Wien] Graphene bandstructure
Hi Prof Blaha, Here is the structure I am using. I tried to be as precise as possible with position coordinates. I think size of the vacuum is sufficiently large so that supercell-supercell interaction is negligible. So far what I have got is that with LDA xc if I use 25 x 25 x 1 k-mesh there is a gap at the Fermi level (which passes through K point) but if I use 30 x 30 x 1 k-mesh, gap closes but DOS is not zero at the Fermi level (about 0.001/eV). Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong with this calculation.

Re: [Wien] Graphene bandstructure
Dear Fhokrul Your structure looks strange to me. The angle is 60° and not 120° and it seems that you do not take benefit of the symetry. Here is a cif file of graphene based on the graphite structure in which I have simply increase the c parameter. The structure you are using may explain why you still have a gap (symetry problem).

Re: [Wien] Graphene bandstructure
a) As expected, something is wrong with your structure. It should be a hexagonal lattice (H and not P) and the angle gamma should be 120 and not 60, and also the positions need to be changed then. With an "H" lattice, wien2k keeps the symmetry properly and is less affected by rounding errors. b) And secondly, you did not answer, how you got the "gap" (from scf-file, output1 or bandstructure or DOS ???) Forget DOS (there is a smearing parameter set by default !) when you use a H lattice and meshes which can be divided by 3 (because K has 1/3,1/3,0 coordinates and only with a mesh like 3 3 1, 6 6 1, 9 9 1, ... the "K"-point is in the mesh), you can use :GAP from scf, otherwise NOT. (best is to use a mesh conpatible with 2 and 3, so 6,6,1 or 12,12,1 ..., because this includes also the M point.

Re: [Wien] Graphene bandstructure
Graphene is metallic by "symmetry", i.e. EF is at a 2-fold eigenvalue at the K-point and bands cross with a linear dispersion. From where do you know that graphene has a gap in your calculations ?? From :gap in the scf file or from plotting the bandstructure or ... It the state at K is not degenerate, you have the wrong symmetry and are not doing graphene.

Re: [Wien] Graphene bandstructure
While I haven't done any graphene calculations, one of the typical issues in bandgap discrepancies is also the existence of strain. Ensure your lateral lattice parameters are optimized using your current functional so that you're certain you are looking at the band structure of the energetic minimum. Of course don't optimize the vacuum or you'll end up with graphite... Best regards, Michael Sluydts Op 22/12/2015 om 17:43 schreef Islam, Md F: Thanks, for your reply.

Re: [Wien] Graphene bandstructure
Hi, Thanks for your suggestion. I have checked up to RKmax=9 but the gap didn't close. But I was using GGA xc functional. I will try with LDA if it makes any difference. I read in some paper, LDA is supposed to be used for these calculations.
