[Pw_forum] Band Structure of Graphite

Dear QE Users


 I was trying to calculate the band structure of graphite. In my previous
e-mail to forum I had a mistake in selecting the proper k-points in the
Brillouin zone and so I got a wrong band. The correct trajectory is :

K → gamma → M → K → H → A → L → H

By this selection I calculated band structure of graphite again. It seems
correct but there are some things like *noises* in some regions of the band
structure especially in M → K . I tried many times but I could not solve
this problem and get rid of such noises. I have compared the results with
PRB, 55, 17, 1997, 11202. I would appreciate your help and thank you in
advance.


 *The PS of my calculated band structure is in the link below:*
