You provide all info necessary for the correction, so this should be easy:

1) The qtl-b comes from atom 14, l=0
2) atom 14 is P, and for l=0 there are 2 lines, i.e. a regular APW and a local orbital.

3) As mentioned earlier, the energies for them must not be too similar (for a small sphere like yours, "too similar" even means 0.5 and -0.7)

4) The qtl-b eigenvalue is at -2.1, much lower then the used lo-energy (-0.7)

5) Why is the lo-energy so high ? Because of the small sphere it cannot find E-top, so is using the value provided in case.in1.

--> Solution: Edit case.in1 and put -2.1 instead of -0.73 for the LO-energy of the P atom.

After selfconsistency has been reached, check where the P-s eigenvalues are and eventually "correct" the case.in1 file.

Dear Professor Peter Blaha and  WIEN2k Users,

I am working on the electronic structure of NaCaPO4 and I found an error below during SCF calculations:

Output of case.scf2:

  QTL-B VALUE .EQ. ********** in Band of energy  -2.10465  ATOM=   14  L=  0
     Check for ghostbands or EIGENVALUES BELOW XX messages
    Adjust your Energy-parameters for this ATOM and L (or use -in1new switch), check RMTs  !!!


:WARN : QTL-B value eq.******* in Band of energy  -2.10465  ATOM=   14 L=  0 :WARN : You should change the E-parameter for this atom and L-value in case.in1 (or try the -in1new switch)

Output of case.scf1:

      ATOMIC SPHERE DEPENDENT PARAMETERS FOR ATOM  P 14
:e__0014: OVERALL ENERGY PARAMETER IS    0.1000
           OVERALL BASIS SET ON ATOM IS LAPW
:E0_0014: E( 0)=    0.5000
              APW+lo
:E0_0014: E( 0)=   -0.7300   E(BOTTOM)=   -1.270   E(TOP)= -200.000  2 -1   167
              LOCAL ORBITAL
:E1_0014: E( 1)=    0.1000
              APW+lo


I have used way what Prof. Peter Blaha and others suggested to resolve this problem earlier, still I could not able to resolve. In addition, the RMT for Na, Ca, P,  and O are 2.18, 2.18, 138 and 1.52, respectively.

I really appreciate any advices that can help me to resolve this problem.

Thanks in advance!

Sandeep
