Re: [Pw_forum] DOS Without 'Relax' ?

2015-12-29 Thread Mostafa Youssef
Dear Victor,


I think there is nothing fundamentally wrong with calculating DOS from 
snapshots obtained from finite T MD. I  also have seen this once in the 
literature from the work of Prof. A. Selloni group on TiO2/water interfaces 
somewhere around 2010.

 One could argue that even the single particle Kohn Sham DOS obtained for a 
relaxed structure are meaningless  but a lot of the researchers in 
computational materials pragmatically accept it as an insightful tool. My 
opinion is one can compute, think, and interpret but keep in mind that DFT is a 
ground state theory.

Dear Stephan,

The ONCV are norm conserving  so 4*ecutwfc should be fine.
