Dear Everyone,
      I have done the DOS calculation for a bulk 3C-SiC (zinc-blend). and I
found the Fermi energy (Ef) level is =10.6381 (eV). so I plot the DOS vs.
Energy (eV) for my bulk system and also substract the energy to the Ef in
order to have Ef=0 at the top of the valence band. But the plot turned out
to be different. The top of the valence band is below 0. I have attached
some files here. Would please let me know what I might have done wrong in my
input? or what could have been wrong in my plot?

Best Regards,

Tram Bui
