EPW Forum

Hello, everyone,
I'm a PhD student and new to study EPW. However, I found a very strange thing:
(1) First, using qe software, I obtained the band structure correctly;
(2) Second, I went to run EPW code but found the structures were very poor.
(3) Third， when I only used Wannier software (not Wannier code in EPW), the absolutely same parameters settings, the band structures were very good. It seems that the Wannier code in EPW seems wroung。

I tried many settings and it did not work. Can you give me some advices? Below are my critical parameters.
