Hi all,<br></blockquote><div><br> <br> I am trying to do some slab calculations using pw.x . I made a supercell in the direction normal to the surface I am interested in, and made the lattice vector much larger than the actual supercell length to avoid interaction between two periodic images. Is this the way to do in pwscf? or is there an option where one could do a non periodic calculation by specifying the dimension and setting the k-points in the direction normal to the surface to zero (this information I could not find in the manual)? Please reply.<br>
