<div>Dear QE users,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm a new user and I got two questions about pwscf calculation. Could someone help me out?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>First one is about the DOS of particular part of a slab model. I know how to do DOS for the whole slab system, but how can I get the DOS for like the middle part of a slab? Is there any example?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Second question is about average.x. I wanted to calculate the planar average of electrostatic potential and I did it in the same way shown QE examples. I run pp.x first and then average.x. However, the job didn't move forward and showed following message:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Info: using nr1, nr2, nr3 values from input<br>Info: using nr1s, nr2s, nr3s values from input<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>input files:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><u><em>pp.x</em></u></div>
<div>&inputpp<br> prefix='ZnO-new',<br> outdir="/home/n7388683/QE/tmp",<br> filplot = 'ZnO-new.pot'<br> plot_num= 11<br>/<br></div>
<div><u><em>average.x</em></u></div>
<div>1<br>ZnO-new.pot<br>1.D0<br>90<br>1<br>0.949<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
