The ATK.KohnSham module is only relevant for version 2008.10.
In 10.8 you run "atkpython", not "atk".

Well... it's different in 10.8. The contents of the module are available, but you don't need to import it. But the syntax is a little bit different, you can't just reuse the script from 2008.10.

Hi
thanks for the reply
i computed density of states for the file i attached in one of my previous posts
all DOS values are zero
can you kindly tell me what might have been the problem
i am stuck at it for a long time now

Please post the full complete script that you ran, as well as the log file.

The script attached is a molecule. You should compute the density of states for a periodic structure. Even if it technically is possible to do it for a molecule, I don't think the results will be what you are looking for.

i calculated its molecular energy spectrum as well
but even in that i get straight lines parallel to x axis

Of course, it's a molecule. All molecules have discrete spectra (sharp levels).

Hi
i created a small distortion in graphene nanoribbon as given in the tutorial
http://www.quantumwise.com/documents/tutorials/BasicGrapheneTutorial/index.html/chap.zigzag_transport.html#id1286600
i want to find its band gap
since its a molecule i cannot run bandstructure calculations and as i understand from discussion even DOS will not give correct results
so how to do it?
kindly help

If you follow the tutorial, it's a periodic structure, not a molecule. At some point you, by mistake, must be converting the structure to a molecule. Don't

Hi
i corrected my mistake and plotted the bandstructure and density of states plot for the structure
the bandstrcuture consists of straight lines and in density of states there is a small peak near zero instead of discontinuity between HOMO and LUMO
what might have been the problem
i have attached my script file and log file with it

The bands around the Fermi level are not flat. Results look ok.
