[Pw_forum] problem with k-points

[e kb]

Dear Sanjeev,
  I would like to say you may find example 5 useful for your questions about k points.
  There you can find how to enter k points manually for scf and nscf calculations.
I think it is necessary to check the weight of k points for scf,
  but for nscf band structure calc. as in example 05 that may not have any significance,
   
  For the elastic constants,
  using the well known strain-stress relation
  and elastic energy density expression, is the first way that comes to my mind.
  The convention about which strain to use to obtain which elastic constant,
  is probably told in many references that one can check in the literature. 
  For a simple explanation for a simple system,
  you can take a look at
  Phys. Rev. B 60, 791 - 799 (1999) and erratum.

  I am a new user of QE, and not even a grad student yet,
  so if I said sth wrong, I hope more experienced users will correct me.
   
  Bests,
  Emine Kucukbenli

    Thanking you Amin,

But what will be the maximum and minimum range of the k-point for band calculation and also you said in earlier suggestion that, for scf and nscf it is automatic,but we want to do manually the how we will proceeds?

>>I thought it is possible.negative or positive Fermi energy doesn't have physical meaning>>

sorry, for again same question, what is significance of negative fermi energy is any relation in other calculation.

I want to find out the elastic constant for my system, how we will proceeds?

sanjeev
