   * The ''SPECIAL_POINT'' keyword is used to specify the start-, mid- and endpoints of the line. Those points usually denote special points in the reciprocal lattice/unit cell, like the $\Gamma$, $M$ or $K$ point. You can find the definition for these in the appendix section of [[http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0927025610002697|this paper]]. This keyword can also be specified multiple times, making it possible to directly get the band structure for a complete //path//.

 Your tasks:
-  * Lookup the special points for the $\Gamma$, $X$,$M$,$\Gamma$,$R$,$M$ points in the [[http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/cm3032225|mentioned paper]] (make sure you choose the right lattice). Calculate and plot the band structure for graphene from $\Gamma$ over $M$, $K$ back to $\Gamma$ (you are free to decide whether to use multiple K-Point sets are multiple special points in a single set). Mark the special points. Choose an appropriate number of interpolation points to get a smooth plot.

-To convert the band structure file to a file which can be loaded directly into MATLAB for example, you can use the script ''cp2k_bs2csv.py'' from below, which when passed a band structure file ''graphene.bs'' as an argument will write files ''graphene.bs-setN.csv'' for each set containing the K-Point coordinates and the energies in one line.
