About the symmetry points and Brillouin Zones for Quantum ESPRESSO calculations: an overview

In this video tutorial we brush up some basics about the high symmetry points and BZ in 2D crystals, which may be useful to those who are new to the field.

Thanks a ton! Its not this simple when others explain these subjects . Keep the good work please

[@TamalSarkarnbu]

Very nice videos. PhD/MSc student having research interest in computational Solid State Physics should see it and learn. @Dr A Sengupta...Nice lecture. We are proud of you for this lecture series.

Hai sir, Again, very informative video. Recently, I have read one article in computational material science journal named “High-throughput electronic band structure calculations: Challenges and tools”. It contains the information of high symmetry k-points path for all crystal types. Is it reasonable to go with the whole path or could you please suggest the acceptable path in research publications for rhombohedral cell?

Hint: You have to check in a material (and or structure) specific way from highly cited literature in the field. Also what you are looking for matters (say uniform / non-uniform strained systems). Sometimes you would need surface plots of CBM and VBM.

Please can you show us how to calculate the band offset of semiconductor heterojunction
