I use a different struct file for anatase TiO2 :

Does this solve your problems?
The input of structure for anatase has been discussed twice before on the ML, I believe, but it's probably not easy to dig up :-).

Onderwerp: [Wien] Questions about anatase TiO2



Dear Wien users and developers,
I am calculating DOS and bandstructure of anatase TiO2 using Wien2004 with
the REDHAT LINUX 9.0 and PGI5.0 compiler. According to the literatures, the
parameters are as the follow: space group 141/amd, a=b=3.784 c=9.515
(angstrom), u=0.208. So I give the following position for Ti and O
respectively.
Ti (0,0,0) (0.5,0.5,0.5) (0.5,0,0.75) (0.5,0,0.75) (0,0.5,0.75)
O (0, 0, 0.208) (0, 0,0.792) (0.5,0.5,0.708) (0.5,0.5,0.292)
  (0,0.5,0.042) (0,0.5,0.458) (0.5,0,0.458) (0.5,0,0.958)
Before the initialization of calculation, I chose the Lattice type as P.
After I clicked "x sgroup" and "view outputsgroup" from w2web, there
also occured "Warning!!! Bravais Lattice has changed. Sgroup found:
141(141/a m d)[origin choice 2]. "  I started a new session, chose the
lattice type as 141/amd and input the above atom positions. But after I
saved the structure, the position automatically changed as the follow:
Ti (0,0,0) (0.5, 0.5, 0.5) (0.5, 0, 0.75) (0, 0.5, 0.25)
O (0, 0, 0.208) (0, 0, 0.792) (0.5, 0.5, 0.708) (0.5, 0.5, 0.292)
  (0, 0.5, 0.042) (0, 0.5, 0.458) (0.5, 0, 0.542) (0.5, 0, 0.958)

So I had to calculated the scf cycles using the changed position. The
bandgap for anatase TiO2 is about 3.2eV(experimental) and 2.0eV(calculated
by other author using LAPW method). But I can not find the appreciable gap
in the plots for DOS and bandstructure. Furthermore I can't obtain the DOS
with energy high than 0eV even if I increased Emax to 2.5 in case.in1.
I have 3 questions:
1. I think the calculated result is not correct since no gap can be found.
But i do not know where the problem is. Does it come from atom position or
other aspects?
2. The calculated Fermi energy is about 1.4eV, which seems to be higher
than that of other compounds. Is the DOS with low energy related with the
higher Fermi level?
3. The last iteration of case.scf is as the follow:

          ATOMIC SPHERE DEPENDENT PARAMETERS FOR ATOM  Ti       
          OVERALL ENERGY PARAMETER IS    0.3000
          OVERALL BASIS SET ON ATOM IS LAPW
          E( 0)=    0.3000
             LAPW
          E( 0)=   -4.3500
             LOCAL ORBITAL
          E( 1)=   -2.5800
             LAPW
          E( 1)=    0.3000
             LOCAL ORBITAL
          E( 2)=    0.3000   E(BOTTOM)=    0.100   E(TOP)= -200.000
             LAPW

          ATOMIC SPHERE DEPENDENT PARAMETERS FOR ATOM  O        
          OVERALL ENERGY PARAMETER IS    0.3000
          OVERALL BASIS SET ON ATOM IS LAPW
          E( 0)=   -1.5500   E(BOTTOM)=   -2.700   E(TOP)= -200.000
             LAPW
          E( 0)=    0.3000
             LOCAL ORBITAL
          E( 1)=    0.3000
             LAPW

       K=   0.25000   0.25000   0.25000            1
:RKM  : MATRIX SIZE  990LOs:  24  RKM= 6.00  WEIGHT= 8.00

I know the correct relation should be E(bottom)<E(l)<E(top).But the
obtained E(l) is not located between E(bottom) and E(top). It seems that
E(top) are not found since -200 is the default value. Where is problem and
how can I solve it?

The case.struct, case.in1, case.in2 and case.scf files are attached.
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
