Hi there siesters,
I ran into a very basic problem. I'm trying to calculate the bandstructure of a slab. For that matter I an illustrate my problem on 2x2 graphene unit cell. The \Gamma point of the 2x2 cell gives wrong eigenvalues compared to the 1x1 cell (a factor of ~4!!) . Is there a rigid shift of the BZ center ? Here are the lattice vectors/atom position blocks for the 2x2 cell. for the primitive cell atom position is 0,0,0.5; 1/3,1/3,0.5 and the lattice parameter reduced by half.
Thanks,
-D.
