[Pw_forum] weights of tetrahedrons

[Mitsuaki Kawamura]

Dear Ryky

Hello,

You are right. The weight of each tetrahedra is just 1/number_of_tetrahedrons = 1/(6*nk1*nk2*nk3).

Best regards,
Mitsuaki Kawamura

Subject: [Pw_forum] weights of tetrahedrons

Hi all,
when we set occupations = 'tetrahedra' in our input file for pw.x, we will get the list of tetrahedrons in data-file.xml, but the problem is that I don't see the weights for them. So my question would be: what is the weight for each of these tetrahedron? Is it just 1/number_of_tetrahedrons?
Thank you in advance!
Ryky
