Dear abinit users:


I calculated the germanium GWA electronic band structure using ABINT. 
I performed LDA with theoritical lattice parameter (5.4767 A) and the GW correction was applied as a post-DFT scheme.
As expected, the GWA germanium band structure I obtained exhibit a poor 
conduction band, in particular the direct gap is overestimated (1.8 eV). TM 
pseudopotential and HGH pseudopotential provides similar results.
What can I do with ABINIT to improve these results?
Regards
