Si bandstructure
Description: Bandstructure for Si within DFT+HF
Mind: For PBE bandstructure refer to Fcc Si bandstructure example.
Bandstructure in VASP can be obtained in three different ways:
Standard procedure (DFT)
Only possible within DFT. Described in Fcc Si bandstructure example:

Bandstructure plot in VASP (Three different ways)
1) Standard way: PBE (Fcc Si bandstructure example).
1.1 Standard self-consistent (SC) run
1.2 non-SC calculation (ICHARG=11) using preconverged CHGCAR file and KPOINTS_PBE_bands
1.3 Plot using p4v
2) Fake SC procedure: PBE & HSE
2.1 Standard self-consistent (SC) run
2.2 Additional SC-run using KPOINTS_HSE_bands
2.3 Plot using p4v
----
The file KPOINTS_HSE_bands is constructed by copying the IBZKPT file from run 2.1 to the KPOINTS file:

3.3 uncomment bandstructure plot flags in wannier90.win and restart wannier90
----
If the wannier90.win file does not exist VASP will create a default wannier90.win compatible with
the POSCAR and INCAR, which need to be suitably modify by including the proper instruction required
to generate the MLWFs (refer to the wannier90 manual):
