Dear Xavier
thank you very much for your reply.
Actually, I have repeated the calculations again. I see the spectra are almost
same for 2000 and 3000 kpoints but still there is a significant change in the
spectra for 90000 kpoints.
how can I explain it? furthermore, when you said 2000, 3000 kpoints, your means
is in the
BZ or IBZ?
Best Regards
Ali

There is definitely no need to go to such a high number of k-points.
In the paper of Claudia, they were looking at metallic compounds,
for which we need to have a very dense k-mesh (for the intraband
transitions).
In your case you expect a semiconductor and thus you will have
only interband transitions. Thus 6000 kpoints is already converged
to my point of view.
I should say that the best way to insure the convergency in the
present case is to plot the epsilon2 as a function of the energy
for instance and to compare this quantity with different k-meshes.
In your case, try to do 300 kpoints first and then 500, 1000,
2000, 3000 kpoints ... You will certainly reach the convergency at
about 1000-2000 kpoints ...
Regards
Xavier
P.S.: The values obtained for 90000 kpoints are curious but I
imagine that you had a prob

the results show that in 90000 kpoints the value of 'sum rule 2' significantly
decreases . in the UG it has mensioned that for the optic we need dense kpoints
but how many? how can I check it for optic?
