ohhh, sorry Prof. Peter. (sp) was included by mistake. I forgot to delete it. For Pb(5p): When I initialized the case I for one 5P state as core(T) and other as valance (F). The total charge leakage (not in the initialization bu it was observed in the *.outputst file) was 0.00068 with -6.0 ecut

Why would you do a runsp_lapw for a non-magnetic system ??? Spin-orbit is also active for a non-magnetic material. Don't mix up spin-polarization with spin-orbit PS: I'm also not sure why you want to include the Pb-5p state as valence ?? I don't think you have to use so small Pb spheres

Thank you Professor Peter and McLeod for your nice explanation. I have to go through the paper and then I can make a better statement. You are right Mcleod, it is orthrohombic MAPbI3 structure. Dear Prof. Peter, It is reported by Tran that mBJ is not good for effective masses:

Very good explanation. So you should probably use SO + mBJ and see what comes out then (you should get again a good band gap, although effective masses are not necessarily improved by mBJ ...) Am 10.11.2016 um 15:24 schrieb John McLeod: I have some experience using WIEN2k for metal

I have some experience using WIEN2k for metal organic halide perovskites. PBE without SOC gets the correct band gap for CH3NH3PbI3 (which I assume is the compound Dr. Bhamu is studying) because of a "fortuitous" error cancellation between using PBE and ignoring SOC. This is reasonably well

I'm not the expert on that topic, but I think you mix up the two dielectric constants, which could be a semantic problem. To compare with a classic experiment, you may need to obtain the ionic contribution to the dielectric constant, which as far as I know can be done using BERRYPI. Other
