Hi all,

I'm trying to calculate the DOS of graphene, but no matter what functional and 
pseudopotential I use, I keep getting DOS=0 about 1.4eV around Fermi level , 
even though the bands calculation can get the Dirac point at K point, showing 
the conduction band is touching the valence bands, so graphene is a semi-metal. 
 I used occupation=tetrahedra in the nscf calculation to calculate DOS, while 
occupation=smearing to calculate bands. Should I use occupation= smearing 
instead? How do I get a reasonable DOS? (I used a super-cell with one layer of 
graphene in the bottom, and enough vacuum. I hope that's not a problem)

Thanks,
