Hi, Thanks for your suggestion. I have checked up to RKmax=9 but the gap didn't close. But I was using GGA xc functional. I will try with LDA if it makes any difference. I read in some paper, LDA is supposed to be used for these calculations.

I think that RKmax equal to 8.0 leads to a better band structure result for graphene.

With spin-orbit coupling, there should be a gap of the order of few micro-eV and without spin-orbit, there should not be any gap at Dirac point. But I am getting a gap of meV even without spin-orbit. I tried both GGA and LDA with very dense mesh but the gap does not close. So I am wondering if anyone have any suggestion about how to do it in Wien2k.
