Dear Pachineela,

  Well, there is an on-line copy: 
https://depositonce.tu-berlin.de/handle/11303/547

A short historical note on shifting the k point mesh, Monkhorst and Pack published their initial algorithm to obtain the equidistant mesh, which avoided the Gamma; then there was a Comment (by Chadi and Cohen, if I remember well) on their Article pointing out the problem indeed in the hexagonal cell, and Monkhorst and Pack responded introducing this shift, which they used to shift the initial mesh so that one point is at Gamma - and this was introduced in the DFT codes as a general shift.

    Greetings,

       apsi

        Well, my guess is that this is a cell - for example hexagonal - where 
the k point grid
      better contain the Gamma point (or at least [0,0,k_z] laterally), because 
otherwise the
      initial Monkhorst-Pack grid of k points has a lower symmetry than the 
cell; further
      explanation for example in the Appendix of my PhD thesis.

            |      Your generating k-point grid is not commensurate to the 
symmetry       |
            |      of the lattice.  This can cause   slow convergence with 
respect        |
            |      to k-points for HF type calculations                         
          |
            |      suggested SOLUTIONS:                                         
          |
            |       ) if not already the case, use automatic k-point generation 
          |
            |       ) shift your grid to Gamma (G) (e.g. required for hex or 
fcc lattice) |

            I am unable to find where the error is? Please address my problem.
