Dear sir,
I know the procedure of calculating DOS and band structure of a solid. But i have to take a cluster in a box. I am confused in making kpoint files for them. Please help.

The cluster in a (large) box is an equivalent to a molecular calculation. This does not need any sampling in the k-space. Use Gamma point only.
