<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi quantum espresso users,<BR>
<BR>
The summation of all the projected density of states is not matching the total density of states at higher energy.I repeated my calculationby reducing the number of bands. I got a spiiling parameter of 0.0174. My system is Si and H.Can anyone please tell me , where can I get some refrences about the spilling parameter .I used the following parameters<BR>
etot_conv_thr = 1.D-4<BR>
forc_conv_thr = 1.D-3<BR>
nstep = 600<BR>
wf_collect = .true<BR>
<BR>
ecutwfc = 40<BR>
ecutrho = 160.0<BR>
diagonalization ='david'<BR>
mixing_mode = 'plain'<BR>
conv_thr = 1.0d-6<BR>
mixing_beta = 0.3<BR>
<BR>
Thanks and regards<BR>
