Hello Everyone,

I was reading the documentation for the bandstructure maker utility for ABINIT. The explanation is very useful.

However I would like to know of a web resource (or any other source like book, ...) to know the special k-points to chose for a bandstructure plot for any given crystal space group.

For some well known space groups it is very easy to find the "special k-points" however for something like space group 148 (R-3H) of YI3 how to choose the reciprocal space k-points and the spacing between them.

any suggestions are very much appreciated.

best regards,
Anurag
