Hi,

I have a multilayered system with vacuum on top. I calculated dos for the system, and I can see, depending on the fermi energy, where my conduction
and valence bands lie. Can someone tell me how I can calculate the CBM and VBM for different layers in a layered structure?
Can I extract it from the graph just by selecting the individual layers in atk?

Thanks

You can project the band structure on a subset of atoms when you set up the band structure calculation.

Ok, thanks for the suggestion. Is it not possible to extract it just from the dos of the individual layer?
I just want to know the homo and lumo for the individual layers.

Sure
