The electronic band structure of copper

The electronic band structure and density of states were calculated with BURAI. BURAI is a user interface for Quantum Espresso.

This calculation took about 4 hours on an Intel Quadcore i7-6700 with 3.4GHz.

The files used were

espresso.band.in
Input file of the band structure calculation containing all necessary information.

espresso.band1.gnu
Band structure output file of data points [vector k] vs. [Energy in eV]

espresso.dos.in
Input file of the DOS calculation containing all necessary information.

espresso.dos
Data of the calculated DOS [E (eV) dos(E) Int dos(E) EFermi = 16.403 eV]

Cu.pbe-spn-rrkjus_psl.1.0.0.UPF
Used pseudopotential {Author: ADC; Generated using "atomic" code by A. Dal Corso v.5.1.2}

espresso.scf.in
Input file of the SCF calculation containing all necessary information.

espresso.restart_scf8
Output file of the SCF calculation

espresso.log.scf
Additional information about the SCF calculation including results of stress tensor.
