    Dear surrinder,

    could you specifiy ''is not matching the standard one'' ? And some more infos like which material you are computing etc...

    from scanning you output I would first recommend to reduce the additional grid on the wplot

    to

    wplot
    1000 100 1
    -12.0 4.0

    and then check again. One more question does your calculation converge or did you reach max self consistent loops ?

    best regards
    Michael

      Dear mfechner,

      I have changed wplot to following and have got good results. also I added
      in input file...

      wplot
      500
      200
      1
      -0.5 0.5

      with the standard DOS plot I mean those given in research papers.

      could you plz explain the meaning of following as given in userguide:
      How do we estimate numerical values given in "wplot"---is there a way like
      we do k-points using softwares.


      energy points in the DOS: INTEGER (say) 500
      K-point grid size used for integrating function in BZ : INTEGER (say) 100
      level of smoothing applied to DOS: INTEGER (say) 1
      Energy window for DOS : (say) (-0.5, 0.5)


      also please, if possible, let us know about convergence.

      REGARDS
