[Pw_forum] strange bandstructure

[Lex Kemper]

Hi idoldog,

I presume what you're referring to as 'strange' is the lines jumping
from one band to another. This is, as I understand it, the bands.x code
not seeing enough overlap between the kpoints to order them properly.
There are two ways to fix this:

(a) Run with more points per line in k-space
(b) If you're only interested in a few bands, fix them by hand.

Good luck!
