Dear all,<br>
<br>
After a SCF calculation of a crystal with the following cell
parameters<br>
<ul>
<li>ibrav = 14,
celldm(1)=5.913520,celldm(2)=1.386316,celldm(3)=1.593551,
celldm(4)=0.084426,celldm(5)=0.313644,celldm(6)=0.268903</li>
</ul>
<p>I performed a band calculation (restart_mode='from_scratch')
using the path bellow which has been generated by xcrysden.<br>
</p>
<blockquote> K_POINTS crystal<br>

But in the output the path looks like this :<br>
<blockquote> number of k points= 40<br>
cart. coord. in units 2pi/alat<br>
k( 1) = ( 0.5000000 -0.1395931 -0.1651425), wk =

and like this<br>
<blockquote> k = 0.5000-0.1396-0.1651 band energies
(ev):<br>
k = 0.4500-0.1256-0.1486 band energies (ev):<br>
k = 0.4000-0.1117-0.1321 band energies (ev):<br>
k = 0.3500-0.0977-0.1156 band energies (ev):<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I compared the lattice and reciprocal lattice parameter in both the
scf and band outputs, and they are (obviously) exactly same.<br>
So I'm just wondering what's going on here.<br>
What did I do wrong?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
