Dear Neelesh,

  Adding to the answer of Jagdish, there is a fixed dimension:

qe-6.2/Modules/parameters.f90:       npk    = 40000,  &! max number of k-points

(This in version 6.2)
As pointed our in the previous answer, the number of actual k points will be reduced significantly if you do not apply k point beyond one value in the direction without periodicity (assuming that you have indeed a single, isolated layer in question).

    Greetings,

       apsi

Dear Neelesh,

I don't know about the error. But in scf input , I think you should have 36 36 
1 0 0 0 k grid because silicene  has 2D structure. It will
decrease k points in scf.out. Please correct me if I said anything wrong.

      Dear All ,
       
I'm trying to perform a phonon calculation of silicne using using ph.x on QE v

I have tried with -nimage in mpi run but it stops and in crash files it shows error of too many k-points.
Thanks in advance!
