TLDR
In this article, a method for generating sets of special points in the Brillouin zone which provides an efficient means of integrating periodic functions of the wave vector is given, where the integration can be over the entire zone or over specified portions thereof.
Abstract
A method is given for generating sets of special points in the Brillouin zone which provides an efficient means of integrating periodic functions of the wave vector. The integration can be over the entire Brillouin zone or over specified portions thereof. This method also has applications in spectral and density-of-state calculations. The relationships to the Chadi-Cohen and Gilat-Raubenheimer methods are indicated.

Fabrication of SnS2/Mn2SnS4/Carbon Heterostructures for Sodium-Ion Batteries with High Initial Coulombic Efficiency and Cycling Stability.

TL;DR: The existence of SnS2/Mn2SnS4 heterojunctions can effectively stabilize the reaction products Sn and Na2S, greatly prevent the coarsening of nanosized Sn0, and enhance reversible conversion--alloying reaction, which play a key role in improving the ICE and extending the cycling performance.

Reduced Bloch mode expansion for periodic media band structure calculations

TL;DR: Reduced Bloch mode expansion (RBME) as mentioned in this paper employs a natural basis composed of a selected reduced set of Bloch eigenfunctions, which is selected within the irreducible Brillouin zone at high symmetry points determined by the medium's crystal structure and group theory.
