rm KPOINTS

提交脚本任务运行，成功结束后可以得到输出文件kpoints_enengy.out
可以使用OriginPro等画图工具画出kpoints-能量关系

Si的KPOINTS测试

根据收敛性，大概选择KPOINTS为$9\times 9\times 9$

注：Auto mesh模式下。 $KPONITSnumber=max(1,|\vec{b}|/(2\pi \times KSPACING))$
另外，后续介绍中，主要使用的是KPOINTS文件，KSPACING可以根据自行需要选择使用。

提交脚本任务运行，成功结束后可以得到输出文件kspace_enengy.out
可以使用OriginPro等画图工具画出k点密度-能量关系。

Si的KSPACE测试

根据能量收敛判断，选择K点密度为0.15较为合适。
