[Pw_forum] to extract k-point from bilbao crystallographic server

[Huiqun Zhou]

They are just written down there in your mail, aren't they? For Fd-3m, they are
K, L, U, W, X.

You can click on the "Brillouin zone" to see the graph for further understanding what 
they present.

  Dear all QE users
  I am so sorry to ask this question I have been to crystallographic server to extract the coordinate for my  k-poiint card for space group Fd-3m. the page is displayed below but I dont know how to extract my k-point from this page i would be grateful if U can explain how I can get the coordinates for my k point. Please I would be grateful for your assistance.

  The asymmetric unit of ITA is obtained from that used in these tables by 


  reflectionthrough the plane x,x,z . 


  The asymmetric unit is obtained from the representation domain of CDML by the equivalence 


  [L K W M] ~[L U W X] through the two-fold rotation around the axis Q. 


  Wing: [GM L X3] x,x,z: 0 < x < z < 1/2-x 




  The transformation matrix that relates the primitive (CDML) base with the conventional-ITA is -a+b+c, a-b+c, a+b-c



        If you want to identify a k-vector you have to introduce: 
        1. The reciprocal bases:  primitive (CDML) conventional dual (ITA)  
              2. The k-vector:  kx    ky    kz
