[DFTB-Plus-User] Bands question from a new user

[Alex.Durie]

Dear experts,


I am trying to generate the bandstructure of fcc Co, with a plot per each spin.

The outputted bandstructure appears wrong, and so I think I must be setting this problem up incorrectly. Please advise where I am going wrong.


Input files below.


Many thanks,
