[Pw_forum] Problem with the Band Structure Calculation

Hi,
To my knowledge, most of bandstructure works just gave symbols of high
symmetry points along k-path. If so, i think
the problem is mostly due to inconsistent settings for high symmetry points
between you assigned to k-path and that paper's.
You can check your K-path with xcrysden->Tools .

regards.
