<P>Dear Evan</P>
<P>Thanks for your reply. However, I still have some confusions, if you can help to resolve these.</P>
<P>1. I have not use smearing in the calculations. What happens if smearing is used? I haven't yet understood how to get Fermi energy. The output file is attached, if you can help me figure out the value and the procedure to see this value</P>
<P>You can get the Fermi energy of your system when you add some smearing in the scf calculation.</P>
<P>2. When I use plotbands.x it asks a few questions, can you tell me what is meaning of this question {deltaE, reference E (for tics)}</P>
<P>I think these questions are self-explantory, deltaE is the distance of the adjant two points in the band structure, for reference E, you can put the maximum of the valence band, then the maximum valence band is shifted to 0 eV in the plot. you can follow some tutorials:http://www.fisica.uniud.it/~giannozz/QE-Tutorial/</P>
<P> </P>
<P>3. What are these values? and where would these are to be used? <BR></P>
<P>high-symmetry point: 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 x coordinate 0.0000<BR>high-symmetry point: -0.0016 0.0000 0.0856 x coordinate 0.0857<BR>high-symmetry point: -0.0016 0.0861 0.0856 x coordinate 0.1718<BR>high-symmetry point: 0.0841 0.0861 0.0840 x coordinate 0.2575<BR>high-symmetry point: 0.0857 0.0861-0.0016 x coordinate 0.3432<BR>high-symmetry point: 0.0000 0.0861 0.0000 x coordinate 0.4289<BR>high-symmetry point: 0.0857 0.0000-0.0016 x coordinate 0.5504<BR>high-symmetry point: 0.0841 0.0000 0.0840 x coordinate 0.6361<BR></P>
<P>4. In your message you wrote, band gap = I-A, what is I and A????</P>
<P>I: Ionization energy; A: Affinity energy<BR></P>
<P>I am an experimental guy, and have recently joined dft calculations, so have a little idea about these things. extremely sorry for this.</P>
<P>Cheers</P>
