Error reading KPOINTS file while performing HSE06 calcualtion

#1 Post by naveen_sharma » Mon Jan 27, 2025 9:08 am

Hello, I am doing HSE06 band structure calculation, and this error show up:
Error reading KPOINTS file.
The error occurred at line: 110.

I am not able to understand it as there are only 109 lines in my KPOINT file. Can anyone suggest any solution. I have provided the input files.

Please find files attached here:

Dear naveen_sharma,

Thank you for your question.
I see that you are using the tetrahedron method (ISMEAR=-5). If you would like to provide the k-points explicitly you need to provide the list of all tetrahedra in the KPOINTS file.
See the detailed description on our wiki.

Best wishes,
Alexey
