 +====== 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: 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:
  
-====== ​1. run 1 SCF to obtain the SCF charges ====== +=== Procedure ​===
-  +
-2. fix SCF charges and use a set special high symmetry k-points +
-3. run    ​+
  
 +  - 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. ​ 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 ​
