[Pw_forum] pdos of MoS2

[Dr. Thomas Brumme]

Dear B. S. Bushan,

the pDOS is created via projection of the eigenfunctions on the atomic  
orbitals given
in the pseudopotential as those states are included in the  
calculation. You're using
pseudos with semicore states. Thus, for, e.g., Mo there are the 4s 4p  
4d 5s 5p states.
If you look at the energies for which you find states, you'll see that  
the states for
wfc#1 and wfc#3 are lower in energy than those for #2 and #4. All  
these informations
are usually printed at the beginning of the output of projwfc.x.

Cheerio

Thomas
