The calculation of band structure of defective graphene

Hello community, 

I have been calculating the band structure of different graphene type 
(monolayer, bilayer, defective, etc). In defective situation, I set a 5×5 
unit cell and remove one atom in center of the structure.
After relax, I get the coordinates of the rest 49 atoms.

Here is part of my settings, but &COOR part not included ( the versionof 
cp2k is 4.1). After the convergence of SCF iteration,  I plot the band 
structure, listed be
low, which are quite different from the benchmark in some papers. Can 
anyone help me with the situation ? Where is the problem and how should I 
correct them ?

Expect replies from you.
