[Pw_forum] supercell band structure

Wed May 17 23:14:54 CEST 2017

Dear Mohammadreza Hosseini,

are you talking about band folding? I wrote a small utility to unfold
the band structure of supercells long time ago. It's in a git repository
hosted on qe-forge.org (project name is unfold).

Kind regards,
Pietro Bonfa'
