<div dir="ltr">Hello Everyone,<div><br></div><div>Bi2Se3 slab with 6 quintuple layers is calculated. It is supposed to have spin polarized non-degenerate surface bands. However, in the calculated results, each band is doubly degenerated including surface band, as shown in the left panel of attached figure. And the spin components (sigma x) have opposite sign for degenerated surface band (S1). The input is listed below. I am not sure if I am doing the right thing. Any suggestions are welcome!<div>
