DOS

DOS (block-type)

General Density-Of-States information.

DOS
{ File filename }
{ Energies n }
{ Min emin }
{ Max emax }
End

Where n is the number of (equidistant) energy-values, emin, emax the minimum and maximum energy values (with respect to the Fermi energy), and filename the (formatted) file on which the DOS-information will be written. If the file is omitted, the information will be printed in the output file.
Example:

DOS
FILE plotfile
ENERGIES 500
MIN -.35
MAX 1.05
End

According to this example, density-of-states values will be generated in an equidistant mesh of 500 energy values, ranging from 0.35 below the Fermi level to 1.05 above it (atomic units). All information will be written to a file plotfile. The information on the plot file is a long list of pairs of values (energy and DOS), with some informative text-headers and general information; since the file is formatted one can easily inspect its contents; it should be suitable for graphical software like IGOR.

Density-of-states values are generated for the total D.O.S. and optionally also for some partial densities of states (see the keys GrossPopulations and OverlapPopulations).

If the key DOS is omitted, no Density-of-States information is generated at all. If the key is given, but one or more of the 'subkeys' (file, energies, min, max) are omitted, default values are inserted (: direct printing on output, 300, -0.75, 0.75).
