 Hi Janakiraman,  In transiesta the z-direction is that of charge transport. In other words it is non-periodic. Therefore, when transiesta runs it will override the user's choice of k-points in this direction. If you pick k-points along the x and y directions transiesta should keep them th

Hi Janakiraman , The problem you have has many faces to it, in a literal sense. The unit cell is the most symmetric way to place the atoms in the FCC cell, but you could imagine yourself slicing your bulk in such a way that you get more than one atom. You can slice it in whatever angle you wa

Hi Magda, For a given k-point, the bands file will have spin up and spin down entries if the run was spin-polarized. To see where the spin down entries start, look for a sudden jump in the eigenvalues (ie, from large positive values back to negative ones) right at the middle of the dataset for
