How to determine the k point path in band structure calculation?
Posted: Fri Mar 22, 2013 10:39 am
Dear All
I am doing an ab-initio calculation of graphene doping. I visulized a supercell(square) with 60 Carbon atoms in Materials Studio. Now I need to do the band structure calculation, but I do not know how to determine the k point path.
I had a try and I set the KPOINTS file as follows:
k-points along high symmetry lines
45
Line-mode
Reciprocal
0 0 0
0.5 0.5 0
0.5 0.5 0
0.5 0 0
It did not work!
I will appreciate if anyone can help me!
