Dear Andrey,

You seem to run a super-cell, ie many cells along the 2D plane: Thus your band structure gets folded into the small Brillouin zone, and it is difficult to find the bands ("Dirac point") as-is. There are references now in the literature for un-folding the band structure, I know of one tool for doing this (Jonas Björk et co, http://www.ifm.liu.se/theomod/compphys/band-unfolding/), or you try figuring out the back-folding by first thinking how the Brillouin zones of the (1x1) cell and your super-cell would fit and then following the bands in your calculation.

    Greetings from Sunny Montrouge,

How I can find the K-point on the band structure?
