Dear Evan and Layla, E(N+x) where x is a real number can be calculated using tot_charge:
http://www.quantum-espresso.org/wp-content/uploads/Doc/INPUT_PW.html#idm6396048 The ionization potential is not well-defined in bulk as Layla described but the difference I-A is well-defined for bulk. I-A= E(N+1)+E(N)-2E(N) Regards, Mostafa MIT
