I selected 2000 k-points. grep GAP *.scf gives 0.923 eV while manually I<br>
found VBM at 0.0 eV and CBM at 1.10023 eV. So which one should be correct?<br>

If your k-mesh is not dense enough such that there is no k-point<br>
at the VBM and/or CBM or close to, then :GAP will be larger than<br>
the band gap from a band structure.<br>

Dear AllDoes the command "grep GAP *.scf" gives<br>
correct band gap value? as when I found the bottom<br>
of conduction band in xmgrace it is higher. (bottom<br>
of CB is<br>
read correctly by opening the plot in xmgrace and<br>
then read the date by editing in text editor).<br>
