Dear Michael,

did you check convergence of your mesh cutoff. Especially GGA needs usually higher ones. (Even with LDA i would not go below 200 Ry)

And if you want to calculate the band structure, I would increase k-points along z, as your unit cell is very small in z-direction (but not needed for the actual problem).

However, what do you mean with Ring shaped?

Good luck

Marcel

Hello SIESTA users
 I am doing some calculations on BN(Boron Nitride)  nanotube(5,5) which is 
semiconductor. I am using 20 atoms with in GGA.
 During the CG  relaxation I found that the Nanotube structure is converged to 
Ring shaped  structure.
 Please see the attached outfile of my calculations and I will be very thankful 
if some one gives me some instruction to handle this problem.
 Thnx
 Mic.
