I think for insulators, occupation =fixed in the scf calculation. The degauss value is mainly for metals. You are using a broadening of 0.02Ry=0.272eV for a gap which is only 0.04eV. This broadening will likely result in a metallic DOS, which is what you are getting. For the nscf/DOS

Dear Expert, About the first option, I used to confuse to select the correct option for the occupation, smearing type, and broadening part. In my input file, I used an 'mv' smearing with a broadening of 0.02 Ry. So either I can reduce it to 0.01 Ry or I can try any other occupation, like

From the most to the less likely, it could be that your DOS has some broadening that masks the existence of a small gap, or that the gap closes across the last two segments of the path that you are missing, or that you are very unlucky and the band gaps closes at points that do not lie on

QE doesn't switch atoms as far as I know. Visualizers occasionally do: their algorithms sometimes cannot decide whether to visualize an atom or its periodic image and so you see atoms at the border of a box that disappear at one side and appear at the other side. If this is the case, there isn't
