Hello all,

I am trying to run an nscf calculation with ESM bc1. I have a PZT slab with vacuum on each side and I trying to calculate the bands on a kpoint path Gamma-X-M-Gamma. The trouble is that I get the following error:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     task #        46
     from esm_check : error #         1
     incorrect k-point for ESM
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

What does that mean? Is there a condition for the kpoints with ESM? I couldn't find anything in the documentation.


Regards,


Lucian
