Dear Asif,

<div>thank you for the detailed description! It will allow me to recreate the case on my end. I will get back soon. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"> </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">I assume

<div>Dear Wien2k users,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am calculating band structure for 2x2x2 supercell of hexagonal MX2 TMDC. The required K-path is G (0 0 0) - M (1/2 0 0) - K (1/3 1/3 0) - G. But the unfolded band plot has some additional bands in M-K direction.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Below I describe the steps used for unfolding using fold2bloch tool:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To get the folded k-path, fold.m file is used (<a href="https://github.com/rubel75/fold2Bloch-Wien2k/blob/master/Utils/ubs_dots.m" target="_blank">https://github.com/rubel75/fold2Bloch-Wien2k/blob/master/Utils/ubs_dots.m</a>).<br>
</div>
<div>And used this path for "x lapw1 -band".</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Copied the case.vector, case.struct, case.klist_band to f2b folder and successfully run " fold2Bloch -c case.vector 2:2:2"<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The plotted band structure using matlab script looks fine (compared with the parent unit cell). </div>
<div>But the problem is that there are some extra bands appearing in the K-M direction. For example, the band in M-K direction beginning from -0.4 eV, should not be present. <br>
