Dear André Koch Liston,

I attached the k-resolved total projected DOS using your input file. The 
vertical axis represents E-E_F (eV) and the horizontal one is gamma to X point 
(0, 0, 0.5). 
There are states above the Fermi level.



Note that I used a single CPU run for projwfc to obtain the results, as the MPI 
run failed to perform the ‘expensive’ calculation.

Some notes on your input files.

It looks like you have performed the SCF calculation using only the gamma 
point. However, your BANDS calculation file indicates you specify the k-path 
from the gamma to the diagonal point. It is pretty strange, as the gamma point 
only SCF calculation implies an isolated system, not a cyclic one, and only the 
gamma point should exist.

The system size is enormous. 

Still, I can not understand the importance of calculating the projected DOS of 
such an extensive system. There are 240 atoms, each of which has some wave 
functions. It resulted in 570 projected DOS files.


Sincerely yours,
