With VASP files, when applying uniaxial strain to a TMD, like MoS2, the POSCAR will change. I can do this. But does the reciprocal space path points in KPOINTS also need to change?
For example, the Kappa point of (1/3, 1/3, 0). Should I leave the chosen KPOINTS path alone (G, M, K, G or whatever), or do I shift need to shift Kappa by the chosen strain amount?
The high-symmetry points will change as the unit cell changes, but does VASP deal with that through the POSCAR, or does KPOINTS have to be shifted. Hope this question makes sense.
Thanks,
Mark
