I'm sure this is well known to those who know, but how can I extract
the surface band structure from a slab calculation?

More specifically, I dealing with 10-12 layer slabs, seperated by vacuum.

What do I put into the block "BandLines" to get the surface BZ, i.e
the projection of the bulk BZ in the direction perpendicular to the
surface? If I have the surface in the (x,y) direction, for example,
how would I then set the z value of the vectors in "BandLines"?

I'm guessing it's the same as the 1st BZ edge in that (z) direction,
but I'm guessing...

With thanks
