Dear Prof. Peter Blaha,
I think I found another issue with kgen -1 mode especially concerned with
I4/mmm symmetry.
As previously mentioned, the '-1' mode of kgen generates uneven k divisions, as
you rightly pointed out. However, I've observed potential issues with the
weight of the uneven k mesh, particularly in the context of I4/mmm symmetry
(and possibly other symmetries as well). This discrepancy appears to lead to
inaccuracies in determining the Fermi energy.
Here is how I benchmarked:
1. run_lapw -p till converge for CaFe2As2 and 10 10 10 shift kmesh.
save_lapw -d scf
2. x kgen generate 9 9 9 non shifted mesh | x lapw1 -p; x lapw2 -p -fermi | get
Ef=0.5076760931
3. x kgen generate 9 9 13 non shifted mesh | x lapw1 -p; x lapw2 -p -fermi |
get Ef=0.5028504280
2. x kgen -fbz generate full 9 9 9 non shifted mesh | x lapw1 -p; x lapw2 -p
-fermi | get Ef=0.5076760047
3. x kgen -fbz generate full 9 9 13 non shifted mesh | x lapw1 -p; x lapw2 -p
-fermi | get Ef=0.5077417577
You can observe the significant difference in the Ef obtained from the 9 9 13
kmesh in the irreducible Brillouin zone (IBZ). However, the Ef calculated from
the full Brillouin zone (FBZ) using the same mesh appears normal. Consequently,
I suspect there may be an issue with the weight of k-points in the 9 9 13 mesh
generated by your modified kgen. On the other hand, equal division kmesh 9
9 9 gives consistent Ef for both ibz and fbz.
What is more, for 9 9 13 IBZ kmesh, when viewing fermi surface. xcrysden 1.6.2
gives error. xcrysden 1.5.60 gives completely wrong fermi surface.
Please help, thank you very much!
best regards

Ups.
