Is 2.875 eV the value of :GAP in case.scf? If yes, it looks like if the Fermi energy is not placed correctly on the DOS, because the gap between the valence and conduction band seems to be close to 2.875 eV. Could it be due to the broadening in case.int? Try to execute tetra with a reduced (or no) broadening.

I got a bandgap of 2,875 eV. However, in the plotted DOS it can be seen that a small amount of DOS from the valence band is crossing the Fermi energy. I have attached the plot to this mail. Is this crossing can be neglected or I should have to change some other parameters like broadening etc. with regards, -- Dr. Shamik Chakrabarti Research Fellow Department of Physics Indian Institute of Technology Patna Bihta-801103 Patna Bihar, India _______________________________________________ Wien mailing list Wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at http://zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/wien SEARCH the MAILING-LIST at: http://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/index.html
