Yes, I used PBESol followed by mBJ.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Did you use mBJ to calculate the band gap in both procedures?<br>

Subject: [Wien] a note on lattice parameter optimization<br>
<br>
Hello,<br>
<br>
Using experimental lattice parameters(a Ang), I optimized the structure with two options.<br>
<br>
1. Directly optimized the structure without min_lapw ... and the optimized lattice parameters are in the vicinity of Exp a (~0.01 Ang accuracy) and the calculated band gap (from mBJ2) is in agreement with reported value ~0.3 eV less.<br>
<br>
2. First relaxed the structure and then optimized this relaxed structure (without min_lapw ....). In this case the optimized lattice parameters are reduced by ~0.05 Ang and the band gap vanished or largely reduced.<br>
<br>
<br>
Why is the second way of doing band structure not working?<br>
<br>
I tested it on many systems. In some case system became metal and in some cases band gap largely reduced when I used the fully relaxed structure for optimization.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
