[QE-users] Band Structure and DOS contradiction

[Giovanni Cantele]

Maybe you could send input files and a plot of DOS and band structure to help people to figure out
what is happening.

If DOS and band structure do not agree with each other, I would not trust to either!!!

What do you mean that you repeat the calculation with **different theory** ????
