Dear all, Sorry to bother you with this silly question but it puzzles me a bit!
In a recent article, I have seen a DOS in which the Fermi level is located in the conduction band. So, it seems to me that the materials is metallic. But there is clearly a band gap of about 2 eV. I always thought that for metals the gap was closed. Is there a contradiction in the paper or am I wrong? Thank you for your answer.
