[QE-users] Smearing in metals - what are metals in the context of Quantum espresso - Reg

[singaravelan T R]

Dear all,
In the tutorial files, there is lists called occupations and we have
options in that like tetrahedron, smearing etc.
*Question:*
*We can apply smearing in the case of metals right, then what are metals in
the context of Quantum espresso.? *
*is this D and f block elements alone or elements from s and p block also
like Al, Sr etc.*
*Is it mean we cannot apply smearing to Non metals and metalloids in the
periodic table.*
With thanks,
Singaravelan T R
