Hi,

I am a newbye to abinit. Following the tutorials, I tried to write a .in file 
for some test calculation, say, reproducing the band structure of Cu. By 
trial and error, I managed to obtain the lowest band which resembles very 
closely the figure in Ashcroft-Mermin's textbook, but had no such luck with 
the higher bands, nor with the Fermi level.

I basically merged and modified the .in files for the tutorial related to Si 
(a semiconductor) and that for Al (a metal).

Has anybody written a .in for the calculation of the band stucture in Cu I 
could learn from?

Thank you all in advance.

Giuseppe.
