[Wien] Mismatch in the Fermi level between Wien2K open core calculations and VASP

2020-01-30 Thread Anup Shakya
Dear Prof. Blaha, I have plotted both the band structure and the DOS in Rydberg and they match very nicely with each other. Regarding the comparison with the reported DOS and band structure one needs to give some shift to the Fermi level so that it matches the reported results. Is it because of

Dear Prof. Blaha, The DOS for this material has not been reported so I could not compare it. In both cases without SOC and with SOC the DOS and band structures calculated in Wien2K by me match with each other. I have taken the correct Fermi energy from case.scf file and for SOC I have performed
