Hi

your cutoff radius and eps_schwarz are rather small. Have you tested
those values for this system?

Hi,
Any pointers please? Why I am getting underestimation of bandgap in case of Ge using PBE0? I tried the same for Silicon (both with and without OT using ADDED MOS). I get correct results and right opening of bandgap around 1.2eV for 2A cut-off radius.

Thanks for your reply. I tried to run these simulations for 512 Ge atoms with DFT section below  (no errors in output files at-least) but there are some issues with value of band gap I get:
According to output HOMO value is 0.14948205 a.u. (4.0676 eV), LUMO value is 0.16622340 a.u. (4.5231 eV) and Fermi energy is 3.882363 eV. Now two questions over here:   
a) How Fermi level is below the HOMO level? It should be either at the same level as HOMO as known for CP2K or in between the band gap (between HOMO and LUMO)?
b) Value of band gap is only 0.45 eV, whereas it is expected to overestimate the band gap ~1.2eV for Hartree-Fock exchange of 0.25. I am still trying to play with cut-off radius, maybe that will fix issue but is there anything else which could be wrong?
Both input and outputs are given below.

Is there any reference available where bandgap of Ge is calculated using PBE0 functional in CP2K?
I am aware of this link:
https://www.cp2k.org/_media/events:2015_user_meeting:cp2k-uk-2015-ling.pdf

However, this code doesn't allows to use OT together with added MOS. Also Purification method (MO_DIAG) in ADMM only works together with OT.  
&AUXILIARY_DENSITY_MATRIX_METHODMETHOD BASIS_PROJECTIONADMM_PURIFICATION_METHOD MO_DIAG&END AUXILIARY_DENSITY_MATRIX_METHOD
Is it ok to run these simulations without any purification method & OT? I am adding extra MOS over here. Standard diagonalization, broyden mixing and smearing is used for single point energy calculation.
