[Pw_forum] Fwd: band structure

[Paolo Giannozzi]

Since the mentioned problem with graphene arises more often than not, I put
an example of input data for graphene here:
http://www.quantum-espresso.org/faq/input-data/#3.8* (*I hope nobody will
take offence for the joke in
http://www.quantum-espresso.org/faq/self-consistency/#6.15: it actually
took me some time to get both the atomic positions and the k-point list
right).
