Dear All,

I have a question about 'nband': I set the nband for screening and self-energy calculations to be 300 and 250, but in the output file it turns out to be 100 for both of them. What can be the reason?

nband1 5
nband2 9
nband3 300
nband4 250

SIGMA fundamental parameters:
PLASMON POLE MODEL 1
number of plane-waves for SigmaX 703
number of plane-waves for SigmaC and W 627
number of plane-waves for wavefunctions 909
number of bands 100
number of independent spin polarizations 1
number of spinorial components 1
number of k-points in IBZ 43
number of q-points in IBZ 43
number of symmetry operations 8
number of k-points in BZ 144
number of q-points in BZ 144
number of frequencies for dSigma/dE 9
frequency step for dSigma/dE [eV] 0.25
number of omega for Sigma on real axis 0
max omega for Sigma on real axis [eV] 0.00
zcut for avoiding poles [eV] 0.10

EPSILON^-1 parameters (SCR file):
dimension of the eps^-1 matrix on file 627
dimension of the eps^-1 matrix used 627
number of plane-waves for wavefunctions 909
number of bands 100
number of q-points in IBZ 43
number of frequencies 2
number of real frequencies 1
number of imag frequencies 1


Thanks in advance for replying!

What is the value of nbandkss and kssform in your input file?
We'd all save time if you could provide full input files...

Dear Fabien,

I am sorry, and now I attach my input file here. Could you take a look at this. Thanks so much!

In your input, you have this line:


May I kindly suggest you to consider the consequences of increasing this value?
