<h1></h1><h1><font style="font-weight: normal;" size="2">Abolore,</font></h1><h1><font style="font-weight: normal;" size="2">I do not know any standard set of k-points for monoclinic system. Chose the points that you think are representative, e.g, half of every reciprocal lattice vectors, and path between them. I suggest you first calculate the DOS, locate the points of the valence band maximum and conduction band minimum, and be sure that they are in included in the k-points path of the band diagram. Some maxima of the DOS are related to lines were some bands are flat. Assure that these lines are included in the path. A good method is to explain the DOS features with the band diagram. If some feature cannot be explained with the band diagram, investigate the reason. </font><br>

<pre>Dear QE User,<br>I am having a problem as regard (k-point)<br>I am working on monoclinic system, and am using xcrysden to get my k-point<br>and my question is how do I know the special points (k-points) to select<br>
from the Brillion zone in the xcrysden k path selection?<br><br>Thanks in anticipation of your favourable assistance<br><br>Musari Abolore<br>Dept Of Physics<br>University of Agriculture, Abeokuta<br>Nigeria<br>-------------- next part --------------<br>
