Density of States error
« on: April 13, 2023, 14:40 »
Hi all, I have such an error that, for Al2O3 band gap energy and DOS results are totally different (see attachments), what can be a problem?

Thanks in advance

Regards
Ruhani

it should be played with k-point in the "DensityofState" in the Script section, do not leave the "default" one. k-point settings can be different with the "Main" menu in the "LCAO calculator" and in the "DensityofStates" section separately.

Also I recommend to not use the DensityOfStates class, but the ProjectedDensityOfStates, which has more features and better performance
