Dear Prof. Blaha,
I have 56 atoms supercell & it is converged with one
k-point. In this regard should I do the following;
(1) save_lapw case_1kpoint
(2) run_kgenhf_lapw for 4 kpoints
(3) x lapw1 -hf -up
(4) x lapw1 -hf -dn
(5) x lapw2 -hf -qtl -up
(6) x lapw2 -hf -qtl -dn
(7) x tetra -hf -up
(8) x tetra -hf -dn
Looking forward to hearing from you.
with regards,
