Dear all, I try to calculate the work function of CNT. I follow all steps in the?work function example and no error in the calculation steps. I compare my result with?some papers and I see my results is smaller?and the?dependence of work function?in diameter is inverted. My results is 4.2, 3.8, 3.6 eV for (4,4), (5,5) and (6,6) tube. It looks strange. ? This?is my?input file:
