Dear everyone,<br>      i am trying to creat a carbon nanotube with a cu chain in its center, but i am not sure if my parameter settings are correct:I don't know if under the &system item, i should use the only cnt's data, and i am not sure the setting of k points. Because it will cost a lot of time to calculate, I want to make it as correct as possible. Would you plz have a look at my script and give some suggestions?Thank you.<br>
