CCL: DOS Density of States ??



Dear Dr. Ramzan Saeed, 

Thank you for your message. 
You may send follow up questions to our support E-mail address or the ADF forum on our website. 

For periodic LCAO DFT calculations you can use the BANDdos GUI utility of our BAND program: 
For the simplest example see: http://www.scm.com/Doc/Doc2008.01/BANDGUI/BANDGUI_tutorial/page15.html
You can use it to show also partial density of states, for example only d-functions of selected atoms. 

For ADF itself, you can use the DOS program, which produces text output at the moment: 
http://www.scm.com/Doc/Doc2008.01/ADF/Analysis/page26.html

It also has several unique features, including support for ADF's fragment orbitals. 

The following options are available for computations by dos:

  • TDOS: Total Density of States
  • GPDOS: Gross Population Density of States
  • OPDOS: Overlap Population Density of States
  • PDOS: Projected Density of States
An example input is given here (see also $ADFHOME/examples/adf in your ADF directory):

Best regards,
Stan van Gisbergen

Hi !
I want to know that how can we calculate DOS (density of states) by using
ADF software?
