Dear Miss Kajal, it probably made some bonds - simplest way to tell would be to look at the charge density, or the charge density difference between the two cases (use the unit cell of the doped system, but relax fully the atoms in both cases). Sure, the N will affect your band structures. Might be worth studying the media.quantum-espresso.org lectures. nicola -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof Nicola Marzari Department of Materials Science and Engineering 13-5066 MIT 77 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge MA 02139-4307 USA tel 617.4522758 fax 2586534 marzari at mit.edu http://quasiamore.mit.edu
