I have observed in research papers that the k-path chosen for electronic band structure and for phonon band structure to be different. I am currently using VASPKIT in order to obtain the path for electronic calculation. But how do I obtain the one for phonon.

I think they should be same, but why do some articles use different path. I plan on using phonopy for the calculation of the phonon bands.

Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

The question was:

"but why do some articles use different path"

However, no article was provided that uses a different path. ProfM said:

"I agree there is no reason why the two paths should be different."
