Hello everyone,
I am calculating the band structure of bulk Bi2Te3 using GW method. I have recompiled the vasp code with vasp2wannier included and the band structure was calculated using wannier interpolation. The topology of the band structure with GW is almost same as the one without GW, but the Fermi level is not correct. That is, the Fermi level is now ~0.25 eV below the original VBM site. Could anyone give me some suggestion?
The following are the wannier90.win file and the INCAR file in the last step I use:
INCAR:

ISPIN = 2
LSORBIT = .TRUE.
ISMEAR = 0
SIGMA = 0.05

LORBIT = 11
NPAR = 16
EDIFF = 1E-8
NBANDS = 288
EMIN = -20; EMAX = 20
NEDOS=2000

ALGO = GW0 ; LSPECTRAL = .TRUE. ; NOMEGA = 288
PRECFOCK = Fast
NKRED = 3
LWANNIER90=.TRUE.


wannier90.win:

num_wann=30
num_bands=60

num_iter = 200

# for GW uncomment
exclude_bands 1-10,71-288

#kmesh_tol = 0.0000001
#use_bloch_phases = T

Begin Projections
Bi:px;py;pz
Te:px;py;pz

dis_win_max = 10.0
dis_froz_max = 7
dis_mix_ratio = 1.0

#dis_froz_max=20
dis_num_iter= 1000

spinors = .true.
