I am calculating the bandgap of the bismuth tungstate using castep in Materials Studio. The results are fairly accurate using the DFT+U approach. However, there's no bandgap when I build a supercell from the initial structure (2x1x1). I am using an identical ZB path for both calculations.

Help is appreciated.

    $\begingroup$ Could you post your input files for both cases? It's difficult to know what the problem might be without a bit more detail. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 27, 2024 at 21:49
