Dear Marcella,
Thank you very much for your reply.
Actually, I’m using the Berry phase approach to compute the total dipole of
the simulation box, thus I have not Wannier centres from my calculations at
the moment.
I tried several keywords for the minimisation of the wavefunction on single
point calculations in gas phase. Conjugate Gradient in combination with the
FULL_ALL preconditioner seems to speed up the calculation compared to DIIS
and FULL_KINETIC preconditioner. I’ll try to use these
settings for the MD in bulk.
Using larger cutoffs for the electron density makes the calculations even
slower.
Concerning the band gap, I’ll check whether experimental data are available
in the literature to assess the accuracy of my calculations.
Thank you again for your hints.
Best ragards,
Emma Rossi
