Si has a indirect band gap, so, you might want to check the smallest gap in your calculation instead of at K point, I guess.

Hi my old friend,

You are now on QE forum, as I know GW in abinit allows get correct band gap. Which approximation do the authors use?

    Dear Colleagues,
    I can not get the correct band gap for silicene.
    I used the pseudopotential and all the parameters as in the work
    Appl. Phys. Lett. 106, 183107 (2015)
    (http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4919885
    <http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4919885>).
    Please help me with pseudopotential.
    With ''Si.rel-pbesol-n-rrkjus-psl.0.1.UPF'' pseudopotential I got
    the band gap about 0.7 eV in K point, but according to work Appl.
    Phys. Lett. 106, 183107 it was 1.5 meV.
