[Wien] Why the GAP appeared in DOS plot is lower than the GAP obtained during "Analysis"

[Tran, Fabien]

Either you k-mesh during SCF was very coarse or you made a mistake during in the procedure to make DOS.

You have to provide more details: which functional did you use (PBE , PBE+U, ...), which system, which k-meshes, etc.

Dear Dr. Tran,

             The gap appeared is 4.606 eV in the "Analysis" while the plot shows 3.62 eV.

with regards

The gap shown in Analysis is :GAP in case.scf. If a different k-mesh (than the one used during the SCF calculation) is used for generating the DOS, then there may be a difference. Typically, one should increase the k-mesh for DOS.

What is the difference between the gaps in Analysis and DOS in your case?

Dear Wien2k users,

                             We have seen that the GAP appeared in DOS plot is lower than the GAP obtained during "Analysis". Why it is so? what is the meaning of GAP appeared during "Analysis"

Looking forward to your reply in this regard.

with regards,
