[QE-users] on k-point mesh

[Mahmoud Payami Shabestari]

Dear Marcelo,


Thank you for your comment. I am already familiar with setting such mesh 
points.
But, specifying "k-point density" is somewhat better in cases you have 
relatively large lattice vector relaxations. Assigning just one value for 
the density (instead of 6 values for nk1 nk2 nk3 sk1 sk2 sk3) will take care 
of the number of k-points dynamically (in the course of relaxations).


Bests,
Mahmoud

Dear Mahmoud,


   Use this command:


    K_POINT (automatic)
    nk1 nk2 nk3 sk1 sk2 sk3


   From pw.x manual: 
   
automatic :
automatically generated uniform grid of k-points, i.e,
generates ( nk1, nk2, nk3 ) grid with ( sk1, sk2, sk3 ) offset.

Hi All.
I wonder if there is an option to specify the k-point mesh in BZ in the form 
of uniform k-point density.
Any comments is highly appreciated.
