Dear Users

Suppose, we have constructed a metallic surface and a vacuum slab with some 
thickness.

Normally, these super-cells have no symmetry. My main question is that how we 
should 

choose the k-point? Only in the surface or we can choose some points in the 
inner layers

or even vacuum near to the surface?



PS: I have calculated band structure for the plane parallel to the surface but 
in the middle 

point of the vacuum (far from the surface). I expected that I didn't get any 
band graphs; however,

I got some. Can anybody tell me why?
