Dear Sax developers:
I am now doing GW calculation with Sax-1.0.0 , When I test the code with examples (example3)by calculating the band gap of Silicon ,It was running well, I got a reasonable bandgap of 0.98eV with 8*8*8 k-mesh .
Problem came out during I calculting the bandgap of P3HT <poly(3-hexylthiophene)> which has 1-D long polymer chain structure.As I increase the number of k-points ,The band gap decreases relatively . A 0.26eV band gap of which experimental value is 1.9eV was obtained with 12*1*1 k-mesh.
Similar problem happens when calculating the band gap of polyacetylene.
I am not sure if I wrongly selected the parameters of GW calcultion or SAX code does not fit calculating band gap of oranic semiconductor(or some bugs exist) .
Hope you can give me some recommendation.
My input files are in the next Email titled <GW calculation on organic semiconductor --2st>
