35. Obviously some of these calculations did not converge properly and calculations where restarted with modified SCF option to reach convergence. Unfortunately, for some points no reasonable convergence (in terms of computing time could be obtained and those points (0 to 15% of the total number of points depending on the system are left out of the results. Usually these points were situated at the edges of the grid and do therefore not influence results.
