reciprocal lattice and k-lattice mismatch

[neha_kapila]

hello,
I am trying to relax Mos2-ZnO hetero structure but got error'
VERY BAD NEWS! internal error in subroutine IBZKPT:
Reciprocal lattice and k-lattice belong to different class of lattices. Often results are still useful... 96
Please someone tell me how to solve it.
I have tried kmesh1010x1,12x12x1 and also 20x20x1 as i want to study two dimensional structure.
I am new to vasp please forgive my mistakes

Hi,

try the gamma-centred mesh, e.g.

Dear admin
kindly check my inputs for MOs2_ZnO heterostructure. The structure is relaxed and scf is done with GGA_PBE but I am getting the following error while running for DOS

even if i am trying to generate k path using vaspkit its giving me the following error
See An Example in vaspkit/examples/seek_kpath/graphene_2D.
More details are given in arXiv:1806.04285 (2018) and refs.
This feature is still experimental & check PRIMCELL.vasp file.

Please help me how to resolve the issue

[neha_kapila]

thank you so much Alex
I tried that but its not working,however if I change the lattice constant then it works but then the Band-structure is different.

Please note that the VASPKIT software is neither developed nor supported by us. You need to contact the developers of that software for more information.

I tried that but its not working,however if I change the lattice constant then it works but then the Band-structure is different.

Could you expand a bit on this, what is not working and what other error do you get if you change the lattice constant?
