Error in k-point sampling in G0W0 Calculations

Hello,

I am running a simple G0W0 test for a two-atom silicon cell. I generate a WAVEDER file in the first step. In the second step the calculation runs fine until I get the following error:


calculate QP shifts <psi_nk| G(iteration)W_0 |psi_nk>: iteration 1
internal ERROR in RE_READ_KPOINTS_RD: the new k-point set for the reduced symmetry case does not contain all original k-points. Try to switch off symmetry

I am already running with ISYM=0 for steps 1 and 2. I am unclear what the error is in relation to. Here are my INCAR and KPOINTS files for this second step where the error occurs:

INCAR:
SYSTEM = Si
IBRION=3
POTIM=0.

ISYM=0
ISMEAR=0
#ISPIN=2
SIGMA=0.05
NSW=0

EDIFF=1.0E-07
EDIFFG=-0.01
PREC=Normal

LWAVE=.FALSE.
LCHARG=.TRUE.
LREAL=.FALSE.

NBANDS=96
LOPTICS=.TRUE.

ALGO=GW0
NOMEGA=50
PRECFOCK=Normal


KPOINTS:
Automatic Mesh
0
Gamma
9 9 9
0. 0. 0.



Thank you!

the same error is appeared in my calculation, hope someone can tell me how to solve this error.

Thank you!

this is a small bug in vasp.5.2m it will be fixed in vasp.5.2.10
