create_kpoints_from_distance(structure, distance, ...)

Generate a uniformly spaced kpoint mesh for a given structure.

aiida_quantumespresso.calculations.functions.create_kpoints_from_distance.create_kpoints_from_distance(structure, distance, force_parity)[source]#

Generate a uniformly spaced kpoint mesh for a given structure.

The spacing between kpoints in reciprocal space is guaranteed to be at least the defined distance.

Parameters:
  • structure – the StructureData to which the mesh should apply

  • distance – a Float with the desired distance between kpoints in reciprocal space

  • force_parity – a Bool to specify whether the generated mesh should maintain parity

Returns:

a KpointsData with the generated mesh
