Thanks very much!I have another question. In some papers, they said ‘The potential and charge density in the muffin-tin (MT) spheres are expanded in spherical harmonics with lmax = 8 and non-spherical components up to lmax = 6.’I don’t know how to set different lmax value during the calculation. Can you tell me how to do ?

The fundamental problem of DFT is to be an approximate method whatever
is the xc functional/potential that is used.
Anyway, if you really need band structure for your compounds with correct
band gap, then you can empirically adjust the parameter c of the mBJ
potential until the desired band gaps is obtained. For this, you need
to create the file case.in0abp.
For instance if you want to fix c to 1.2, the case.in0abp should be like
this (see Sec. 4.5.9 of the UG):
1.2
0.0
1.0
