Dear Paolo & Christoph,

Thank you very much for your reply to my question under the title "problems
in graphene simulation" on date 28/09/19.

I need more clarification to incorporate in my manuscript.

My question and doubt were exactly.

1- why the gap provided by the calculations of the density of states is not
matching with the gap calculated by the calculation of band-gap.

2- Why I am not getting the contribution of 2 S of carbon orbitals when I
extract the PDOS. I am getting the file showing the contribution of 1S and
2P of carbon and 1 S contribution of hydrogen atoms only.

waiting for your response eagerly.


with regards

Haider Abbas
