Setting energy range for band structure calculations

#1 Post by kzhuo3 » Wed Jul 06, 2011 12:35 pm

VASP seems to output a lot more bands than necessary by default. I'm guessing time can be saved if VASP only performs calculations for bands within a certain energy range of interest.

What INCAR options are there to tell VASP to only output bands within a certain energy range about the band gap say?
