Dear Dr. Sclaizero and all, The example is from the example 1 ,in the *Complex band structures and ballistic conductance* in the hands-on tutorial of quantum espresso, and it's about the bandstructure of bulk Al along the 001 direction. I am now pasting the input script for the nscf calculation here, at the end you would see the 50 K points:
al.nscf.in &control calculation='nscf' restart_mode='from_scratch', pseudo_dir = '$PSEUDO_DIR', outdir='$TMP_DIR' prefix='al' / &system ibrav = 6, celldm(1) =5.3, celldm(3) =1.414, nat= 2, ntyp= 1, ecutwfc = 15.0, occupations='smearing', smearing='methfessel-paxton', degauss=0.01 / &electrons conv_thr = 1.0e-8 mixing_beta = 0.7 / ATOMIC_SPECIES Al 26.98 Al.vbc.UPF ATOMIC_POSITIONS Al 0. 0. 0.0 Al 0.5 0.5 0.707 K_POINTS 50 0.00 0.00 0.00000000 0.00000000 0.00 0.00 0.00721538 0.00721538 0.00 0.00 0.01443075 0.01443075 0.00 0.00 0.02164613 0.02164613 0.00 0.00 0.02886150 0.02886150 0.00 0.00 0.03607688 0.03607688 0.00 0.00 0.04329225 0.04329225 0.00 0.00 0.05050763 0.05050763 0.00 0.00 0.05772300 0.05772300 0.00 0.00 0.06493838 0.06493838 0.00 0.00 0.07215375 0.07215375 0.00 0.00 0.07936913 0.07936913 0.00 0.00 0.08658450 0.08658450 0.00 0.00 0.09379988 0.09379988 0.00 0.00 0.10101525 0.10101525 0.00 0.00 0.10823063 0.10823063 0.00 0.00 0.11544601 0.11544601 0.00 0.00 0.12266138 0.12266138 0.00 0.00 0.12987676 0.12987676 0.00 0.00 0.13709213 0.13709213 0.00 0.00 0.14430751 0.14430751 0.00 0.00 0.15152288 0.15152288 0.00 0.00 0.15873826 0.15873826 0.00 0.00 0.16595363 0.16595363 0.00 0.00 0.17316901 0.17316901 0.00 0.00 0.18038438 0.18038438 0.00 0.00 0.18759976 0.18759976 0.00 0.00 0.19481513 0.19481513 0.00 0.00 0.20203051 0.20203051 0.00 0.00 0.20924588 0.20924588 0.00 0.00 0.21646126 0.21646126 0.00 0.00 0.22367663 0.22367663 0.00 0.00 0.23089201 0.23089201 0.00 0.00 0.23810739 0.23810739 0.00 0.00 0.24532276 0.24532276 0.00 0.00 0.25253814 0.25253814 0.00 0.00 0.25975351 0.25975351 0.00 0.00 0.26696889 0.26696889 0.00 0.00 0.27418426 0.27418426 0.00 0.00 0.28139964 0.28139964 0.00 0.00 0.28861501 0.28861501 0.00 0.00 0.29583039 0.29583039 0.00 0.00 0.30304576 0.30304576 0.00 0.00 0.31026114 0.31026114 0.00 0.00 0.31747651 0.31747651 0.00 0.00 0.32469189 0.32469189 0.00 0.00 0.33190726 0.33190726 0.00 0.00 0.33912264 0.33912264 0.00 0.00 0.34633802 0.34633802 0.00 0.00 0.35355339 0.35355339 Thank you!
