Dear all
I am trying to calculate metallic oxide(CoO). However, I have some puzzle in
writing vcrelax.in file.
As the experience shows that CoO is insulator, my vcrelax.in file is showed in
the following lines, I calculate it as insulator
&control
calculation='vc-relax'
restart_mode='from_scratch',
prefix='CoO'
pseudo_dir = '../../files/pseudo'
outdir='./tmp'
verbosity='high'
etot_conv_thr = 1.0D-4
forc_conv_thr = 1.0D-3
/
&system
ibrav = 0,
celldm(1) = 8.00,
nat = 4,
ntyp = 3,
ecutwfc = 50.0
ecutrho = 400.0
nspin = 2
tot_magnetization=0.00
occupations = 'fixed',
nbnd = 28
/
&electrons
conv_thr = 1.d-10
startingwfc ='file'
startingpot ='file'
/
&ions
ion_dynamics = 'bfgs'
/
&cell
cell_dynamics = 'bfgs'

however, the outfile shows that
highest occupied, lowest unoccupied level (ev): 14.3247 13.7975
I am puzzled, what happened, why is homo higher than lumo? is my calculation
correect? Or should I regard the system as matel when calculate varelax?
