<p dir="ltr">If looks like the unit cell for bulk MoS2 might be defined incorrectly. There are 6 atoms in the bulk unit cell of MoS2, 2 Mo atoms and 4 S. Looks like you only have 2 in your unit cell</p>

<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<div><br></div><div>I'm working with MoS2  which is a semiconductor, and I did a DOS calculation and I got a strange result for bulk. It seems that my DOS is shifted at least in 1.2 eV (the same value of the gap), and I don't really know why. I used the tetrahedra method in occupations, a uniform grid of k-point (k-point automatic; 36x36x36) and I'm working with norm-conserving pseudopotential.</div>


<div>Should I increase the numbers of k-points? Any sugestions? Can anyone help me to see what is wrong in my calculations?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance.</div><div><br></div><div>
