Dear Paolo, (or Dear all,)
could this be a problem of the specific pseudopotential?
I tested with US and PAW in the Hf system and didn't find any
inconsistency. Yet, I even get in the monolayer WSe2 the wrong spin
state at the conduction-band minimum. It should be - due to symmetry, at
least what I remember from a lot of publications - either spin up or
spin down. I get for the expectation value of Sz 0.45411. Since both Sx
and Sy are 0 this can only mean that I have something which is a
combination of spin up and down. Or the wave function is not properly
normalized, but this should be detected by PW, right?
I ask for the pseudo since I remember that I had problems with
relaxations when using the W.rel-...paw... of the pslibrary. Using a
slightly different pseudo (which I created some time ago with Lorenzo
when I was in Paris) the relaxations work and also the electronic
structure and everything was fine... Could it be, that only the spin
part is affected?
Or is it just wrong that everyone says that in WSe2 the conduction-band
minimum at the K point is spin up? (question to the audience)
Regards
Thomas

if you regularly get 1/2 for norm-conserving / ultrasoft and less
than that with PAW, it is very likely that there is something missing
in the PAW case
