Hi Habib

there were too many k-points so the program is not printing out the eigenvalues in the standard ouput, but if I understand correctly, the dos computed with dos.x is in agreement with the pdoses computed with projwfc.x, is it right ?

It's hard to understand what went wrong, I would check that the k-point mesh used for the selfconsistent computation was well converged and that I have been using the same charge density ( and that it is a correct one) for bands and dos non-scf calculations.

Just one more thing which, likely has nothing to do with your problem: when you use norm-conserving pseudopotential there is no use in setting a value of ecutrho in the input.

Dear Pietro,

Thanks for your reply and guidance. Yes, first I did the NSCF simulation, and after that the dos.x and Projwfc.x; kindly have a look on the attached non-scf output file.

Kind regards

Habib

Hi Habib

You should have a look to the eigenvalues you obtained in the non self consistent computation you made before doing the pdos.

Have you tried to compute the dos using the dos.x program using those same eigenvalues ?

Also check, in the standard output of projwfc.x what are the projections for the eigenfunctions close to the band edges


Greetings - Pietro

    Dear QE Users,

    I am calculating the DOS/PDOS and Band Structure of BiVO4 but
    getting different band gaps. i.e., in case of DOS/PDOS the band
    gap is 2.1 eV while in the band structure simulations, it is 1.40
    eV. I am using the same pseudopotentials for these simulations.
    Any one knows, where I am doing the mistake??

    Kind regards

    Habib

    The input/script for the PDOS is!

    &PROJWFC

        outdir = '/home/ISAD/hu203/Test/BiVO4/' ,

        prefix = 'BiVO4'

        degauss = 0.02,

        filpdos = 'BiVO4.pdos' ,

        Emin = -25.0,

        Emax = 25.0,

        DeltaE = 0.01,

    /

    While for the band structure simulations, the input is!
