Error: dis_spheres_first_wann is larger than num_bands-num_wann+1 scf.wout

Post by rkarkee »

Hi users,

I am new user to Wannier90 and EPW. I got this error I guess during wannierization. How can I fix this error?


Thank you

Hi,

This issue has been raised here before please see "viewtopic.php?t=13"

Also, check how many bands you are including (num_bands) in your calculations compared to wannier function (num_wann) in <prefix>.win file.
num_bands>=num_wann.
What I can see is that you have excluded 188 bands in total which leaves you with 12 bands while your nbndsub is 40.

Best,
Sabya.
