Description: compute the bandstructure in fcc Si along L-Γ-X-U and K-Γ

Mind: For this calculations you need the CHGCAR file of the fcc Si DOS example.


Task

Input

INCAR

System = fcc Si 
ICHARG = 11 #charge read file
ENCUT  =    240
ISMEAR = 0; SIGMA = 0.1;
LORBIT = 11

KPOINTS

  0.00000  0.00000  0.00000    1

POSCAR

fcc Si:
 3.9
 0.5 0.5 0.0
 0.0 0.5 0.5
 0.5 0.0 0.5
   1
cartesian
0 0 0

CHGCAR

This calculation needs a converged charge density as input (ICHARG=11). You may use the CHGCAR file of the fcc Si DOS example.
