reciprocal lattice and k-lattice mismatch

#1 Post by neha_kapila » Tue Apr 27, 2021 11:23 am

hello,
I am trying to relax Mos2-ZnO hetero structure but got error'
VERY BAD NEWS! internal error in subroutine IBZKPT:
Reciprocal lattice and k-lattice belong to different class of lattices. Often results are still useful... 96
Please someone tell me how to solve it.
I have tried kmesh1010x1,12x12x1 and also 20x20x1 as i want to study two dimensional structure.
I am new to vasp please forgive my mistakes

Hi,

try the gamma-centred mesh, e.g.

K-POINTS_HEXAGONAL CELL
0
Gamma
21 21 1
0 0 0

Reciprocal lattice and k lattice mismatch in heterostructure,vaspkit error message

#3 Post by neha_kapila » Sat Jun 12, 2021 9:11 am

Dear admin
kindly check my inputs for MOs2_ZnO heterostructure. The structure is relaxed and scf is done with GGA_PBE but I am getting the following error while running for DOS

thank you so much Alex
I tried that but its not working,however if I change the lattice constant then it works but then the Band-structure is different.

Please note that the VASPKIT software is neither developed nor supported by us. You need to contact the developers of that software for more information.

Could you expand a bit on this, what is not working and what other error do you get if you change the lattice constant?
