Title: Density of states - difference from log file and .nc file
Post by: Kaspar on July 4, 2013, 20:58

Hi all,

Because I use gnuplot to plot my DOS and transmission plots, I use the log file to access these quantities automatically with a bash script. I therefore almost never use the VNL plotting tool where the .nc file is used. Just now, however, I noticed that the DOS plotted by the VNL plotter is exactly twice the values reported in the log file. The shape is exactly the same, only all values are twice as high plotted from the .nc file.

Is this well known? If so, what is the reason, and which one is right?

I just thought, that probably the spin is what makes the difference, although it doesn't say in the log file that it is specifically for spin up or down.

I will take a look at it.
