the question about "the quick tutorial of ATK"
« on: November 6, 2010, 16:41 »
         in the tutorial of the quick tutorial of ATK",
(http://www.quantumwise.com/documents/tutorials/ATKTutorialDevice/ATKTutorialDevice.pdf)
I am confused on the part of how to calculate the device of density states. The tutorial tell us that "The Device Density of States also contains information on the Partial Density of States (PDOS)
which can be displayed by pushing PDOS Show from the lower right panel of the VNL main
window." But I can't find the PDOS from the lower right panel of the VNL main window. Also we can see from the upper left panel if is the word "vnl",not the "options" which appears in the tutorial. Maybe there are some mistakes I made. could you kindly tell me how to solve the problem?

Which version of ATK is used? Please try the latest version: 10.8.2.5554.

   although I install the new version, get the pdos show, there is no projection selector which is contained by the propeties. could you kindly tell me what happened?

The reason is that the self-consistent calculation has to be stored in the same netcdf file as the density of states
or alternative you have to enter the path to the netcdf-file in text-field for it. After doing this, you should be able to perform projections etc.
