Re: [SIESTA-L] Band Structure and PDOS results not matching
If I run your system without performing cell relaxations I find the attached eigenvalues (for the Monkhorst-Pack grid). In this case there is *only* a bandgab of ~0.5 eV. Provided that the cell-relaxation does not change the spectrum drastically then this is what you should suspect in the PDOS. Secondly, the PDOS is *exactly* reproducing the bandgab in this calculation. 1) I would highly suggest you to perform cell/coordinate relaxations in one directory, then afterwards perform analysis on the relaxed structure, PDOS, band-structure, optical, etc. 2) Possibly your band-structure coordinates are wrong because when I plot the bandstructure for this structure it does not capture the correct band gab (this *has* to be the problem). 2018-01-31 16:35 GMT+01:00 Suman Chowdhury : > I have just tried to see the variation of TDOS by changing the smearing > parameter.

[SIESTA-L] Band Structure and PDOS results not matching
Dear SIESTA User, Recently I am getting some confusing results by using SIESTA. While plotting a band structure I am getting a band gap which is quite large. However, when I am trying to plot its corresponding total partial density of states (PDOS), I can clearly see that there is no existence of any band gap. But interestingly the component PDOS are giving the required band gap. The problem is with the total PDOS. Do any of you have any idea about these kinds of results... -- *Dr. Suman Chowdhury* *Assistant Professor Dept. of Physics, Bangabasi College Kolkata- 79, West Bengal, India.* * Ph no-+91-9830512232*
