ZrS2 bandstructure
« on: May 29, 2017, 08:56 »
Hey guys
I am trying to simulate ZrS2 monolayer. Actually, I tried many times last week to get its band structure.

Bandstructure of 1*1*2 is different with 2*2*1. My question is how I am able to get same band structure?

I used GGA/PBE/DZP with ecut off 75Hartree and sampling 60.60.1 for my calculation.

Please look at my attached files and let me know what's wrong with my results.


Thanks in advanced.

The band plot is perhaps different since you have a band folding as result of using a larger (2x2) lateral unit cell. It also means that the Brillouin zone of the 2x2 cell is smaller than that of the 1x1 primitive cell.
