<br>
you can try to start the mBJ calculation with the electron density<br>
from the GGA+U calculation (before executing runsp_lapw for mBJ,<br>
copy case.clm/sum/up/dn from the GGA+U calculations). Maybe the<br>
QTL-B value at the 1st iteration is smaller such that the<br>
calculation does not stop. This can happen that large QTL-B values<br>
occur only at the 1st or two first iterations and then disappear.<br>

Subject: [Wien] Ghost band error in mbj calculation<div><div><br>
<br>
Dear wien2k users,<br>
I am trying to run an mbj calculation for a spinel<br>
compound. It shows ghost-band error in its first cycle. However, either in<br>
GGA or GGA+U the same struct file showed no error and calculation converge<br>
smoothly. I have check the case.scf2 file & it shows, <br>
<br>
:WARN : QTL-B value eq. 19.18 in Band of energy -1.72960 ATOM= 38 L=<br>
1<br>
<br>
Any response in this regard is greatly awaited. <br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
with regards,<br>
<br>
