[Wien] [*] Re: [*] Re: quality FERMI surface

Dear WIEN2K user,
There are so many papers on tetragonal structure with space group I4/mmm
where fairly good FERMI surfaces are plotted using WIEN2K. I am giving you
2 links of those.Please see the paper bellow.
http://www.springerlink.com/content/l848530gu3827t4q/fulltext.pdf

http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/0908/0908.4135.pdf

In the previous mail I was talking about "select k-path" option in
xcrysden.where I defined the path in Brillouin zone as Z-Gamma-X-P-N for
tetragonal I4/mmm and total number of k-points along the path = 46.Sorry
for that,it is not required to plot FERMI Surface.Forget about the mess.it
is not an issue.Quality FERMI surface means it should have solid
two or three dimensional sheets.But here it is coming net like sheets here
and there.No,I have not tried fsgen.Is there any advantage?
