Dear Marzieh,

in this case it is enough to converge the gap as you are interested in energy differences.

Daniele

Dear Dnaiele,
Sorry for asking again to be sure:
Then can I take NGsBlkXp=7 and BndsRnXp=300 as converged values for continuing of the calculation or?

Best,
Marzieh

Dear Marzieh,
I would say yes, they are pretty converged.

Daniele

Dear Daniele,

As I mentioned before I want to use gw correction in BSE and SHG calculations (for LiNbO3).
I am writing to ask you if ppa is enough or do I need to do this part :Beyond the plasmon pole approximation: a full frequency approach - real axis integration to see what happens (it effects on the result or no)?
I am asking because it takes time to do this part.

Best,
Marzieh

Dear Marzieh

the non-linear part of the code use the GW correction on the energies to modify the Hamiltonian,
usually the ppa is enough to have good GW corrections.
