DOS units

Post by Mamikon Gulian » Sat Oct 09, 2010 5:40 am

Hello,

Are the values of energy in the _DOS file measured in "absolute" units or relative to the Fermi level?

Thank you,
Mamikon

It turns out that its in absolute units, not relative to the Fermi energy.

Indeed. The Fermi level is in the header (normally) and the DOS is in states / Ha (or per eV).
