    First guess (assuming everything is numerically converged): do you
    consider the same electrons as valence electrons both in vasp and
    wien2k ? It could happen that a 'semicore' state is taken as valence
    in wien2k and core in vasp. As long as the EFG contribution of these
    states are small, wien2k and vasp will show no differences. But if
    you hit a crystal structure where these states have a larger EFG
    contribution, then the differences will show up.<br>
    <br>
    You can find out whether or not this is the case by (1) explicitly
    taking the same core/valence assignment in both codes, or (2)
    examining the contribution to the EFG of all different oribitals (or
    regions of the DOS). See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.wien2k.at/reg_user/faq/efg2.pdf">http://www.wien2k.at/reg_user/faq/efg2.pdf</a>
    (top of page 9) for the procedure to follow in wien2k.<br>
    <br>
    No warranty, just a guess...<br>

      <div dir="ltr">Dear Users
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I run some test calculations for EFG values for different
          compounds (Sc2O3, In, SmCo5). Their EFG values (computed with
          VASP) are in agreement with that of previous values. Then I
          computed the EFG values with WIEN2K and are in strong
          agreement with previous as well as VASP values.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>But the EFG values for anti-ferromagnetic Ba2CoGe2O7 do not
          agree with that of VASP values (no previous study available).
          Actually for Ge and O they agree <b><font color="#ff0000">but
              for Co and Ba WIEN2K computed values are almost double</font></b>.
          Could you please guide me where the problem is? I am drawing a
          table containing the EFG values and also attaching the
          structure file.</div>
