I want to use a slab of X*Y dimensions where X is 3 times larger than Y. I<br>
know that for a slab geometry, 1 k-point is used in z-direction. Can we<br>
use 1 k-point for one dimension of a unit cell like above. The Y dimension<br>
of the above said unit cell is larger than X but both X and Y are<br>
periodic.<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
