Density of states selection

Checking the Density of states checkbox on the Properties tab displays options for calculating electronic energies on the Monkhorst-Pack mesh of k-points.

Energy range: Specify the maximum energy above the Fermi level for which density of states will be calculated. Default = 10 eV.

k-point set: Specify the quality of the k-point set for the density of states calculation. Each setting corresponds to a particular separation between neighboring k-points in the Monkhorst-Pack grid. Default = Medium.

Calculate PDOS: When checked, indicates that the information required to generate partial and local densities of states will also be calculated.

More...: Provides access to the CASTEP Density of States Options dialog, which allows you to set additional parameters, including the k-point set specification.
