did you give the correct Fermi energy for spaghetti ?<br>did you check e.g. case.scf or shorter case.scf2 whether it reports an insulator behavior and a band gap ?<br>is your DOS Zero or only very small at the Fermi energy ?<br><br>Ciao<br>Gerhard<br><br>====================================<br>Dr. Gerhard H.
