Hello,

if I understand correctly your question, bands are not aligned with the Fermi energy at zero. The alignment is consistent with having an average vanishing electrostatic potential. If you want to have E_f at zero, you need to get the value of E_f from the output file and translate the bands up (or down) but the correct amount.

kind regards

Dear all,

I am writing to follow up on the issue I previously reported. I am still awaiting a response regarding this problem, which persists consistently. Additionally, I want to mention that this issue occurs exclusively with GGA+U and not with GGA.

*Subject:* [QE-users] Issue with NiO Band Structure Alignment Using Hubbard Correction I want to plot the band structure of  AFM NiO with and without the Hubbard correction. When I added the Hubbard correction, I plotted E-Efermi, but the valence band maximum is below 0 eV (around -1.8 eV). I don't know how to correct this to align it with 0 eV.

I attached  just the scf.in file (for the nscf file I added just the nbnd and for band.in I added nband and changed the the k-points to crystal_b)

Could you please guide me on what might be the issue?
