Dear Prof.  Blaha

Sorry I delete some attachment, now the size of the mail should be OK.

Thanks you very much for your reply. Yes, there are several band cross the Fermi level and contribute to the Fermi surface.

But I still have several questions.

This compound is hexagonal (176 P63/m), thus I run "hex_fs_mesh" and select "1" (i.e. plane Gamma-M-K) and put the mesh divisions as 30, and obtain the following fort.2 file:

       176   20   20    0   60 1.00

With this setup I finish the calculation, attached please find the six-band which contribute to the Fermi surface.

1) The output-plot is square, could you please tell me the coordinate of the four corner in of the square. I think one is (0,0,0); another is (1/2,0,0). How about other two? Where is the x-axis in the plot? I guess the Gamma-point is located at the left-bottom corner of the square, and M-point is the right-bottom corner, right?

2) Why the lines in save_filename_64.plot.ps, save_filename_63.plot.ps is dot-line; and the lines in other files is full-line?

3) According to the attached save_filename_xx.plot.ps, there is eight sheets surface between Gamma and M-point. But according to the band-structure plotting (sorry the file is 120K, which is bigger than the allowed-limit of the mail-list, this I cannot attached it), along Gamma-M line, there are only six bands cross the Fermi-level. WHY it is not consistent with the Fermi-surface plot?

4) It is not convenient to plot the fermi-surface separately. May we combine the sheet from different bands to a single plot?

Thanks
