Dear Siesta users,

I'm having very bizarre problem.
I'm simulating the primitive cubic unit cell(12 atoms) of the CH3N3SnI3
perovksite  with GGA and PBE and gives me band gap of Eg=0.9 eV at R point
with 8x8x8 Moshkrof automatic k sampling(i know it's wrong in DFT, but
still) and then i use supercell approach built  in  with 3x3x3 unit
cell(432 atoms) with Gamma point only and i get a bangap of 1.6 eV. I've
checked against plane cutoff convergence seems ok.  I thought maybe
dispersion  is too big so one should sample it more finely, but it turns
out  meff=0.13me, which should be fine. Any ideas ?


With Best Regards, Andrei Buin.
