Hi,

Thanks for the answer, I'll try more k-points if I manage to get the  
calculation running.I have another question: if I use the vxc function  
to get the difference of eigenvalues like below, how can I calculate  
the new fermi level?

pbe0 = HybridXC('PBE0', alpha=5.0)
de_kn = vxc(calc, pbe0) - vxc(calc, 'PBE')
