Dear delam...@unam.mx, this does not answer the question, as if there is a gap in the density of states, there must be a gap in the band structure and vice versa, idependent whether it is a half-metal or an insulator.
Possible problems are for example -- one of the DOS or band structure are not calculated with U but only with GGA, ==> check the manual how to do it correctly -- if the direction(s) in k-space where bands are crossing the Fermi energy are not plottet, then it might seem that the band structure has a gap but not the dos ==> select the correct path in k-space (use xcryden to define it by hand in case it is not provided for a particular structure). However, as there is no information about details of the structure and calculation, any answer will stay speculation. Ciao Gerhard DEEP THOUGHT in D.
