[Pw_forum] Slow calculation of (5, 5) CNT transmission and complex bands.

[chengyu yang]

Dr. Sclaizero and all,
     Thanks for your reply. It really gave me a clue.However, about the k
points, I still have some problem.
     (1) I heard that to calculate bandstructure, one need to use more than
20 k points to get a reliable result, that's why I was looking for more k
points. I did only use the three high symmetry k points in the nscf
calculation, but the final result seems to be too simple to be true. I
attached them for you to have a look.
     (2) In the conductance example for Al, I see they used 50 k points to
get a bandstructure, and I was wondering how did they get them? I can only
find at most 10 high symmetry points for Al. Do we need the same
amount/scale of K point ? If so, how?

k points in the al.nscf.in:
