BSE ERROR The derivative of the wavefunctions with respect t

#1 Post by camille » Wed Jul 04, 2018 3:55 pm

Dear all,

I am following the following tutorial () and when going from the GW0 (step 3) to BSE the calculation cannot finish.
I was wondering, is it normal that despite the WAVEDER is read there is no value of omega (w)?
Could it be the issue?

I am running on vasp.5.4.1

Cheers,
Camille

The Fermi energy was updated, please check that it is located mid-gap
values below the HOMO (VB) or above the LUMO (CB) will cause erroneous energies
