[CP2K-user] plotting band structure

Hi all,
I am trying to plot the band structure myself using Hamiltonian and overlap
matrices generated by "AO_matrices>>KOHN_SHAM_MATRIX/OVERLAP" keyword. If
I'm not mistaken, each block of Hamiltonian in this file corresponds to a
certain neighboring cell and theses parameters are printed without K
integration. it means that Hamiltonian blocks haven't been multiplied by
exp(i*k.r) yet. I print the block_cell indec map myself. However the band
structure that I plot using a python script and theses cp2k generated
matrices are wrong and only are correct in Gamma point. I don't want to use
"%PRINT%KS_CSR_WRITE" because I want to do transport simulations afterwards.
I think my understanding of theses Hamiltonian parameters can be wrong.
Especially since blocks corresponding to mirroring cell (for example 1 0 0
and -1 0 0 cells) should be transpose of each other, if the values are raw
Hamiltonian. but they are not.
I would greatly appreciate any advice,
Kind regards,
Elaheh Akhoundi
