2) my own calculation
My goal would be to compute the band-structure for MoS2 sandwiched <br>between two layers of BN : BN-MoS2-BN</span></pre><p style="margin-bottom:0.2in;line-height:100%"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">
 I am trying to compute the band structure using the k-sampling.</span></p><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">
</span><pre style="margin-bottom:0.2in"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">attached you find my input/output files.<br>
Bands is the file produced with CP2K<br>
bands.set-1.csv is the file produced by the python script <br>attached to the graphene example (see url above)<br>

My problem is that I obtain weird behavior of the bands. <br>Specifically, look at the K point the grey and dark green bands in the ZOOM figure. <br>They have a very strange behavior (sharp angle)<br>
Can anyone help me understand what I am doing wrong?<br>
Thankyou a lot in advance!</span><br><br><img src="cid:0.7" alt=""></pre>
