Hi , Thank you for the prompt response. I think I figured out the problem. The inconsistency appears when computing nscf with gamma based on density from scf with k point sampling. I think this caused by some extrapolation problem?

About specific cases, it would be beneficial to have a particular example to talk about.

I have observed this inconsistency in multiple systems, especially the 2D material. I wonder if this problem is numerical, or caused by the gamma trick assumption which state that the wave function at gamma point has to be real? If this problem is not numerical, does that mean the atomic structure constructed somehow break the boundary condition? I am looking forward to hear more insight about it.
