ELS_POTZ(0;0.5)=0.29376; 0.29376)

I don't quite understand how the potential could be
the same at z=0 and z=0.5
These two values are there, since some slabs might be
set-up with atoms around
0 (and the middle of the vacuum at 0.5), or the other
way around).



a) the absolute value of the potential at the vacuum
will always vary.
What is important is the workfunction is ELS-pot -
Efermi

It is not really monotonic, but with some maximum. I'd
expect a problem,
see below.



a) Etot decreases from 20 bohr on significantly (18
seems an exception)
   Usually the matrixsize should increase (at constant
RKM
   use   grepline :RKM '*scf' 1      RKM constant,
NMAT increases ?
   and   grepline :ENE '*scf' 1      and WARN ??

   2 explanations: i) Maybe NMATMAX got too small and
your bases gets limited
                   when the vacuum increases
                   ii) Increase RKMAX
