Dear QE Developers/Users I have used K_POINTS (automatic) 18 18 18 0 0 0 for HCP (hexagonal close packed) lattice in scf calculation. My lattice parameters are a= 4.0 a. u. and c/a = 1.59. I would like to know whether I can use nk1=nk2=nk3 for the HCP lattice or not. If not what is the criteria for choosing them in case of non cubic (HCP) lattices.
