<br>
<br>I managed to find a way to print the HOMO - LUMO gap from the pdos. The only problem now is that for some reason I get a band gap of 85 eV for silicon when using a hybrid functional.

<br>Hi

<br>For silicon: if you are using the unit cell (with 2 atoms) you need a large number of k-points.
<br>In this case SCF needs diagonalization and an appropriate mixing scheme. I would also add smearing
<br>of occupation numbers. If you have this working, you can start investigating basis sets for convergence.
<br>
<br>For graphene: The problem is the Dirac cone at the K special point. Selecting a matching cell and k-point
<br>sampling is mandatory to get correct results. There is ample literature addressing this problem.

<br>
<br>Hello All,
<br>
<br>As a test I am trying to accurately (relatively) reproduce the band gaps of silicon and graphene structures using PBE. I have however, run into an issue where graphene gives a band gap of 1.2 eV while silicon gives a band gap of 0.18 eV, the exact opposite of what one would expect. I would like to ask what it is I am doing wrong in my calculations. Attached is a zip file containing all my input files including basis set and pseudopotentials.
<br>
<br>Additionally, I cannot seem to get the SCF to converge unless I specify:
<br>
<br>&OT
<br>PRECONDITIONER FULL_ALL
<br>MINIMIZER CG
<br>&END OT
<br>
<br>Why is this setting so critical to SCF convergence in these cases?
<br>
<br>Cheers and thanks in advance,
<br>Tom
