Dear all?
Once I have been advised from this mailing list to set just 1 k point in kgen when calculating an organic material. I believe it was because bands in an organic material were supposed to be narrow and E - not to change with k.
I found some references [by Cornil, Bredas et.al] where the HOMO and LUMO bandwidths for a number of typical organic materials were reported as 0.2-1 eV broad.
Taking into account such bandwidths, would there be still a fundamental reason for E not to change much with k? and would your advise still be to use just 1 k point in kgen?
Merry Christmas
