Dear Kenan,

do you meant that hte first (successful) calculation was done with another code (not VASP) ?

Different codes may produce bandstructures shifted, also depending on pseudopotential there might be a different number of semi-core electrons included. Are you sure all your bands are above the dis_win_min = -0.5

If you remove dis_win_min and dis_win_max - then all bands will be included.

However, for a good disentanglement, typically a much larger number of bands should be included,  then the number of Wannier functions. I would use at least a double, i.e. num_bands~= 160-200.

Dear All,

Can I ask a question?

I am running the wannierization now and it could be done successfully with the following parameter settings in the wannier90.win file.

num_wann = 80
num_bands = 112

num_iter = 50
guiding_centres = .true.
dis_num_iter = 1000

dis_froz_min = -0.5
dis_froz_max = 15.0
dis_win_min = -0.5
dis_win_max = 150.0

end kpoints

Then, I re-did the DFT calculation with VASP and set NBANDS to 96 to interface with WANNIER90. In the wannierizaion step, I only changed num_bands flag from 112 to 96 and kept all other parameter settings the same; however, the calculation failed. The wannier90.wout file has the following information at the end.

 Error at k-point    1 ndimwin 76 num_wann 80
 Exiting.......
 dis_windows: Energy window contains fewer states than number of target WFs

I do not understand why it is that. I suppose that if the num_bands flag with 112 in the previous calculation could be done successfully; then, num_bands flag with 96 in this new calculation should be done successfully as well because the dis_win_max flag in these two calculations always remained 150.0.

Would anyone please give me some suggestions/comment on this issue? Thank you very much.

Kind regards,
