The calculation of deformation potential is wrong, what is the problem and how to solve it?

Hi, I also faced this problem. In the calculation of deformation potential, I can get the deformation.h5 file using K-mesh of 9×9×3. But, when the K-mesh increased up to 13×13×4, an error has been encountered. The output of amset as follow:

Reading bulk (undeformed) calculation
Reading deformation calculation in def-01
Reading deformation calculation in def-02
Reading deformation calculation in def-03

Please help me to resolve this error.

I am also facing same issue for my system.I tried reducing k points.Even I tried using primitive and conventional unit cell .Everytime I am getting same problem.

@LLei It seems like your calculations have different numbers of bands. Can you check this?

@malonestar and @SUBHAJIT_SAU you need to make sure the space group matches the spacegroup found by VASP. You can do this by changing the symprec parameter. If this doesn’t work, please send me your vasprun.xml files for the bulk and displacements and I will take a look.

@alex Thanks for your reply.I will check by changing symprec parameter and get back to you.

Hi Subhajit

Are you able to overcome this error? I am still struggling with recurrent error.

No Zeeshan.

Please send me your vaspruns and OUTCARs for the bulk and deformed structures and I can take a look!
