Dear all:

I have had some problems in calculating band structure and error occurs in x lapw1 -band -p

I am trying to calculate the band structure of CaAs3 which is triclinic. If a choose the k path in xcrysden, it will generate a file with the following output:

K.1       *****-6000*****2 0 500  2.0-8.00 8.00    k-list generated by XCrySDen
          *****-5976*****2 0 500  2.0

          *****-5448*****20500  2.0
          *****-5424*****20500  2.0
..... till the end, and it rises error during calculation.

After that, I get a path I want to calculate in Material studio, which is from (0,0,0) to (0.6,0.3,0.6) and back to (0,0,0) and I manually enter the path in the .klist_band file but the error still occurs.

The path I put is like:

and the error log of x lapw1 -band -p gives

I think this is the problem of how to define the k-path(or coordination system) of triclinc in xcrysden and wien2k, so I want to ask how to define a suitable path for triclinic materials to calculate.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely
