What does "manually" mean? If it means band structure plotting, then probably the VBM and/or CBM is not along the path in the Brillouin zone that you chose.

I selected 2000 k-points. grep GAP *.scf gives 0.923 eV while manually I found VBM at 0.0 eV and CBM at 1.10023 eV. So which one should be correct?

(bottom of CB is read correctly by opening the plot in xmgrace and then read the date by editing in text editor). -- Kind Regards Muhammad Sajjad Post Doctoral Fellow KAUST, KSA. _______________________________________________ Wien mailing list Wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at http://zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/wien SEARCH the MAILING-LIST at: http://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/index.html -- Kind Regards Muhammad Sajjad Post Doctoral Fellow KAUST, KSA.
