This is an old revision of the document!


Copper has a fcc crystal structure. The unit cell is containing only one atom, thus the Cu_bulk.bas file contains only one atom:

   1
29    0.00000    0.00000    0.00000

The unit cell prepared, so [1,1,0] crystallography axis is equal to x axis is written in the Cu_bulk.lvs:

 0.70711    0.00000    0.00000
 0.35355    0.61237    0.00000
 0.35355    0.20412    0.57735

And the 8x8x8 Monkhorst-Pack grid is via Oh symmetry of the cell reduced to the 105 k-points:
