Thank you Prof. Gavin Sir I did not see any factorization error. or similar that I could fix with your inputs and my understanding.I also tried to run various calculations with Ipfac from 5 to 100 but the error still persists. What I see changes are the error occurred at different temperature values in different Ipfac value.It is an alloyed structure. For parent structure, I did not see any error up to 1E22 (1E18 to 1E22) doping level while in alloyed structure I faced Fermi error at 4E21 doping level. The error message might be due to the alloying element. I do not have much knowledge about how much carrier concentration may be possible in a structure. So If we replace a lower Z element by a high Z element from the same group (7A), then there may be some limitation of doping levels. But I do not know about this domain. The exact error message is: ================ BoltzTraP vs 1.2.5 ============= 6E21 XXXXXXXX 0.351378446329918 -0.234775561786487 5.000000000000000E-004 npoints 1173Doping level number 1 n = 0.600E+22 carriers/cm3 Doping corresponds to 1.64561901912858 excess holes per unit cellDoping level number 2 n = -0.600E+22 carriers/cm3 Doping corresponds to -1.64561901912858 excess electrons per unit cell Error - Fermi level was not found for doping 2 at temperature 400.000000000000 Error - Fermi level was not found for doping 2 at temperature 500.000000000000 72.2u 0.1s 1:13.58 98.4% 0+0k 0+33848io 0pf+0w

"Error - Fermi level was not found for doping" Please suggest me:What does it mean and how to overcome this situation. Thanks in advance and help will be highly appreciated. Thank youChin
