<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Dear All,<br><br></div>I am looking to "fine tune" the smearing parameter (degauss=? with gaussian smearing) of a hydrogen_graphene system to estimate the smallest possible value. I need the value of smearing to capture the "true broadening" of the peak in hydrogen PDOS/LDOS when it interacts with the quasi-continuum states of graphene. <br>
</div>(a) One way to estimate the smearing parameter is to look at the population of the bands and make sure that the bands above the Fermi level are "truly/nearly empty". Is there a way I can get the band population in an output file ?<br>
</div>(b) If there is no way I can check the band population what will be a good "trick" to estimate the smearing factor ?<br><div><br><div>Thanks,<br><br></div><div>Partha<br><br clear="all"></div><div><div><div>
