<DIV>The "36"th entry in your .qtl is the contribution from interstitial.
</DIV>
<DIV>So all (total) contributions should sum up to unity. </DIV>
<DIV>(Just a recall : total DOS of each atom -column 0 - in includes the
atom multiplicity, but partial DOS for atomic orbitals do not include
it)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You are talking about layers, therefore you work on surfaces and may use
large unit cells. In this case (and in others) the contribution of each atom
in a band may be quite small due to normalization, so that setting to 0 all
small contributions may be misleading. Your script should be ran carefully, by
testing it with different thresholds for "small" contributions. </DIV>
<DIV>In any case I suggest you to start with a fat band representation, or
simply check partial DOS, to have a first idea of where the bands from
the bulk lie. </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been looking at the case.qtl file, and
have a couple of questions. Firstly, for a system of 35 atoms, why is there
a 36 entry which only seems to hold a a value to reach up to unity. Is this
all it is meant to do. Also I've been looking in to the idea of creating a
script that will remove all bands in the band plots that don't have
significant contributions from a given list of atoms, so that for example
only bands that are due to the upper most surface layer are shown by plot
band structure. Would it be possible to do this by simply setting all atoms
not of interest to 0 in QTL before running spaghetti. Would be nice to
remove all bulk like bands.</FONT></DIV>
