[Wien] GAP is not found in case.scf

[Burhan Ahmed]

Yes, TEMP is automatically selected in initialization. And also my structure is a surface structure with 20 ang vacuum.

Are you using TEMP(S)? The latest version may switch to that automatically for a surface if it is a 2D mesh. Check by hand case.output2 (with up/dn as needed).

Thanks for your response. I am doing a slab calculation having 5 quintuple layers. My compound is a semiconductor. When I do the band structure calculation a clear gap is visible at the gamma point.

If I do the same calculation for a metallic compound, the case.scf file shows band gap =0.0 eV (metallic). But in the Slab calculation this line (gap = xx eV) is missing.

Hi Burhan,
what makes you sure that a gap exists ?
You do not tell much details, must be very secret.

Ciao

Betreff: [Wien] GAP is not found in case.scf

Hello everyone , I have converged an scf run and when i try to check the band band gap using grep :GAP command , it shows nothing. I also checked both case.scf and case.scf2 file and found nothing about GAP though FER energy is available.
Any suggestion for this.

I am using wien2k_23.2 version in a HPC system. The calculation runs with 8 parallel cores.
