Dear Sir,
I am really glad for the assistance u have rendered so far in fact i has
been really helpful, Thanks a lot
I am having another problem as regard (k-point)
I am working on monoclinic system, and am using xcrysden to get my k-point
and my question is how do I know the special points (k-points) to select
from the Brillion zone in the xcrysden k path selection?

Thanks in anticipation of your favourable assistance
