[QE-users] error of band-structure calculations with tpiba_c

Dear Jibiao Li,

I'm not very sure but I think that in specifying the k points in any format
weights are mandatory even if not used.

As specified in the documentation
https://www.quantum-espresso.org/Doc/INPUT_PW.html#idm1514
In a non-scf calculation, weights do not affect the results.
If you just need eigenvalues and eigenvectors (for instance,
for a band-structure plot), weights can be set to any value
(for instance all equal to 1).

So, it is understood that you can set all weights to 1.0 or any other value
for band structure calculations, but you must
specify some value.

Giovanni
