-====== Band structure plot ====== 
  
-In previous section we optimized the lattice parameter of graphene. In this section we show how to generate the band structure at given high-symmetry directions. We follow the same procedure as in the previous case of the Silicon bulk: 
- 
-=== Procedure === 
- 
-  - obtain the SCF charges 
-  - generate a set of special high symmetry k-points 
-  - get eigenvalue spectra with fixed SCF charges & the set of high symmetry k-points 
-  - plot eigenvalue vs. k-points ​ 
- 
-    ​ 
-To plot the band structure we generated a set of the special k-points heading from K(1/​√3,​1/​3) point to Γ(0,0) ending at M(0,2/3) stored in file C1.kgm.kpts. ​

-====== Real space electron denisty ====== 
- 
-Another way to analyze the electronic structure of material is a plot of electron density in real space. This kind of analysis can be compared, with certain caution, with STM images. To obtain this image we have to proceed following steps: 
- 
-  - obtain the SCF charges 
-  - plot wavefunction in real-space ​
