[Pw_forum] Confusion about silicon phonon dispersion along K-X path

[stefano de gironcoli]

dear balabi,
if you take the sigma line, (xi,xi,0), when xi=0.75 you are at the K point
if you keep going along (xi,xi,0) until xi=1.0 you get to (1,1,0) which 
is the same as
X=(0,0,1) because (1,1,-1) is a G vector for the fcc
HTH
