    Dear Ashkan,<br>
    <br>
    using the k-path selection tool of XCrysDen I get the coordinates:<br>
    <br>
    0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  Gamma<br>
    0.500000  0.000000  0.000000  M<br>
    0.666666 -0.333333  0.000000  K<br>
    0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  Gamma<br>
    <br>
    so a possible input for QE could be:<br>
    <br>
    K_POINTS crystal_b<br>
    4<br>
     0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  50<br>
     0.500000  0.000000  0.000000  37<br>
     0.666666 -0.333333  0.000000  75<br>

            Have you checked that you use the right k-point list in the
            band structure calculation?<br>
            The K point seems to be wrong... The input file for the scf
            calculation seems to be<br>
            correct even if you could probably use a smaller cutoff,
            which you however need to check.<br>
