Hi Kazume,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I do not get spikes in the band structure either ( I use PBE fully-relativistic PSPs from PseudoDojo). It is the fatbands in which I get the spikes. My guess is there is a bug in the plotband.x code or I might be missing something here. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>

Dear Vahid Askarpour,<br>
<br>
I tried to plot the band using your input files.<br>
I attached the band figure I just calculated along the<br>
path of M to K with 100 k points.<br>
<br>
My plot is just a band plot and not the 'fat' one but can't reproduce<br>
the spikes of your figure.<br>
<br>
I used the SSSP pseudo potentials, "Mo_ONCV_PBE-1.0.oncvpsp.upf” for<br>
Mo and "s_pbe_v1.4.uspp.F.UPF" for S. So the difference of the pseudo<br>
potentials may cause these spikes.<br>
<br>
