<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I want to calculate Density of states however I do not know what value shall I give for Emin and Emax. To be honest I have not understood what Emin and Emax, as from the manual I can predict that it is the range of energy from where i would like to like to plot my DOS. </blockquote>
<div>Yes, it is. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">But when I gave a value Emin=-15 and Emax=15, the calculation crashes.<br></blockquote><div>You should look in the scf (or nscf) output. There would be eigenvalues corresponding to each k-point. From those eigenvalue you can estimate Emin, Emax.</div>
