Re: [Wien] case.klist_band for band structure calculation having R-3c spacegroup

Selection of a MEANINGFUL "bandstructure" for these low-symmetry phases is a non-trivial task. You have to experiment a bit and checkout which directions are meaningful and give new information. Gama-T-L-FB-Gama-T-L does not sound very "meaningful" (why do you repeat Gamma-L-T ? how do you

Thank you Gavin Abo, I got your point. As I understood from this forum discussions, for Rhombohedral lattice one should always use primitive basis coordinate of high symmetry point for generating case.klist_band using xcrysden. In my case compound have space group R-3c (167) and lattice parameter

The xcrysden.klist outputted by XCrysDen [ http://www.mail-archive.com/wien%40zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg12861.html ] and used as the case.klist_band input for WIEN2k for an R lattice should use the primitive reciprocal vectors [

You have to read the message from xcrysden more carefully: It says for this SG the "labelling" of k-points (Gamma - X- R - ...) is not supported. Otherwise it works, but you have to label the k-points yourself (eg. by comparison with the BZ displayd in the Bilbao crystallographic server).

Dear Dr. Blaha, Since wien2k does not have the template for generating the k mesh for plotting band structure of a monoclinic structure (e.g. CuO), can you kindly advice me on how to do it or provide me with a file for it. Thanks as always for your help.
