Please compare first the DOS (and a band structure) between WIEN2k and VASP. Are they the same ??

If they are the same, a possible explanation could be that in VASP one can add "local field effects" in the optics calculations. It might be that this makes the difference. Try to switch them off in VASP to see if you then can reproduce WIEN2k results.

In any case, I guess you need more than PBE (eg. mBJ) and eventually even BSE.

Dear Wien2k developer,

   I am Hongwei Wang, a postdoctoral fellow of the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at University of Minnesota. Recently, I have used the optical utility implemented in Wien2k package to calculate the dielectric function for the black phosphorus system. The first prominent peak in the imaginary part of dielectric function along z-direction calculated by Wien2k is too weak in comparison with the results obtained from VASP and Abinit DFT codes. I have tried to adjust the k-mesh, broadening gamma,  energy increment, and smearing method, but this problem is still unsolved. I have tried to unload my computational structure file and relevant results, but the maillist system does not
allow me to do it. I look forward to your reply. Thanks for your help.

Best Regards

Hongwei
