Dear Prof. Oleg
I tried to follow your advice and it worked for Si case. I found VBM at
#KP1 and CBM at #KP15. The band index edges were matched with the
particular KP in case.energyso.
But In my case, I could not find the VBM/CBM edges either in case.eneryso
or in case.bands.agr/spagetti_ene.
I finished two different calculations (with shifted k-mesh and unshifted
k-mesh) and both can be downloaded from [1].
[1] https://we.tl/t-Mhv6nv4Zlf
I would be grateful to you, if you can suggest me #KP's with respect to
VBM/CBM.
CBM is not exactly on high-symmetry k-point.
Thank you
Bhamu
