Do you want to plot the band structure? The answer might be the Xcrysden. ( http://www.xcrysden.org/ <http://www.xcrysden.org/>) It can help you build the k point path to calculate the bands. The procedure to achiev it is: 1) Run a SCF calculation and make sure the electronic properties are converged. 2) Run a NSCF restarting from the SCF you made and use the k point path suggested by Xcrysden.
or Do you want to know the number o K points generated by the Monkhorst-Pack? Check the Monkhorst pack original article: http://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.13.5188 Regards, Filipe On Mon, Apr 21, 2014 at 5:34 PM, Halima Zaari <halimazaari at gmail.com> wrote: > Dear quantum espresso users and developers > can you give me a help to use k_point.x to generate a path from the > number of k_point > for expample in the case of 4*4*4 how i can find the direction of k_vector > thank you in advance > > -- > H.ZAARI > PhD Student in laboratory of magnetism and physics of high energy > Faculty of Sciences in Rabat - Morocco > Email: > * halimazaari at gmail.com <boujnah.mourad at gmail.com>* > > _______________________________________________ > Pw_forum mailing list > Pw_forum at pwscf.org > http://pwscf.org/mailman/listinfo/pw_forum > -- _________________________________________ Filipe Camargo Dalmatti Alves Lima PhD Student University of S?o Paulo, Physics Institute, Materials Physics Department, Nanomol Group, Brazil.
