IBZKPT

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

The IBZKPT file is compatible with the KPOINTS file and is generated if the automatic k-mesh generation is selected in the KPOINTS file. IBZKPT contains the k-point coordinates and weights (and if the tetrahedron method was selected additional tetrahedron connection tables are used) in the "Entering all k-points explicitly" format used for providing k-points "by hand". This file can also be generated with the external tool, kpoints.

IBZKPT maybe copied to KPOINTS to save time, if one KPOINTS set is used several times.
