Dear Lorenzo,
Hello.
Thank you so much for your explanation.
I will follow your suggestions.
Bests,

Subject: Re: [QE-users] HOMO is higher than LUMO
Hello,
this happens when the system is a bad metal, with a pocket of valence
electrons in a small Fermi surface. I.e., at some point in the Brillouin
zone, the n-th band is lower in energy than the (n-1)-th band somewhere
else, but these two bands do not touch. Just use a smearing for occupation
and you'll solve the issue. Do not forget to recheck k-points convergence in
the new case.
regards

Dear QE-users/Developers,
In DFT+U calculation of an AFM pure system, I used an input file in which I
had not used "occupation" card, but only a few bands more than half of the
number of electrons. Then, the SCF run was successful, and in the output I
get both HOMO and LUMO values correctly aligned, i.e., E_LUMO > E_HOMO.
However, when I add a metallic impurity (without changing the other
parameters), the SCF run successfuly ends and in the output now I get E_HOMO
> E_LUMO (!!).
I do not know how to interpret this result. Is there any miscalculation?
Any comments is highly appreciated.
