Internal error (bandgap_tools.F) during HSE calculation in VASP 6.4.3
Posted: Tue Jul 28, 2026 10:32 am
Hi,
I'm trying an HSE with AEXX=0.15 calculation for a LiMn0.17Ni0 oxide structure with VASP 6.4.3. However, I'm getting a bug with this calculation, and I'm wondering how to resolve this issue and whether there is anything wrong with the calculation.
The error is:
Code: Select all
internal error in: bandgap_tools.F at line: 316
Could not determine new bound in interval bisection. Most likely this means that the eigenvalues are not sorted.The electronic minimisation doesn't appear to converge. I also performed this calculation with HSE directly, without the PBE calculation.
In a previous attempt, I also got this error:
Code: Select all
internal error in: rot.F at line: 805
EDWAV: internal error, the gradient is not orthogonal 1 1 4.372e-3Any help with this would be much appreciated - thank you.
