Hello!

Could you please be more specific? A simple tutorial on how to get the band structure can be found here:

There are also multiple examples in the Wiki here:

Best,

Hi,

if you talk about bulk materials, you are referring to 3D periodic materials, hence no vacuum, so no work function calculation possible.
You need surfaces for that.

Hth,
