reciprocal space

#1 Post by abmo » Wed Nov 23, 2011 1:55 pm

Hi,
I was wondering if any body knows 0.05*2Pi Angstroms-1 interval in reciprocal space equals to how many k-points. I found this number in an article and I want to figure out how many k-points they used.
Thanks a lot for any help!

Hi, abmo
if the lattice constant is a = 4 angstrom, we can get the b = 0.25*2pi Angstrom-1 in reciprocal space. so, after b is divided into five equal portions, you can get the desired results.

goog luck
