Hello everyone,

I am busy reading the tutorial of abinit.

In the part that the convergence tests are done on k-points, lesson 3.3 I didn't get finally what caused the choosing of 4 4 4 for the suitable k-point grid? the difference of 0.0001 Ha in etot?! aren't we searching for converged minimum value?

Also, is it possible to do convergence test on nband as well? then what parameter will determine the convergence?

best regards,
Hiva
