Hi everyone,
I have been trying to calculate the band structure of bilayer graphene
using CP2k 4.1. The input file follow the tutorial band structure of
graphene
<https://www.cp2k.org/exercises:2016_uzh_cmest:band_structure_calculation?s[]=graphene>
, and is listed in the following

And the band structure I plotted is as follows
<https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KWZPrTYUGBs/W0WoPcsrDaI/AAAAAAAAABE/cLd4uxyz8WA36prGTQDk24w8y_XR_sP-QCLcBGAs/s1600/bilayerGraph.png>
The k-point path I choose is : \gamma->M->K->\gamma. There should not exist
band gap near the point K and the profile of the line near point K should
be parabola.
Does anyone know where is the problem in my calculation setting ?
Thanks for any kind response !
