Unphysical value of DOS : EMIN, EMAX, NEDOS
Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2016 12:04 pm
Dear All,
I am calculating lm-decomposed DOS over a certain energy window around Fermi energy, for a cluster, using single k-point calculations (VASP-gamma version). But the first DOS value i.e. the value of DOS at energy EMIN shoots up to an unphysically large number. Rest of the DOSCAR looks fine.
Following is the INCAR file that I am using,
###################################################################################
SYSTEM = cluster
ISTART = 1
INIWAV = 1
NWRITE = 2
LWAVE = .TRUE.
PREC = medium
EDIFF = 1.0E-4
EDIFFG = -0.001
ISMEAR = -1
SIGMA = 0.2
ICHARG = 11
LCHARG = .TRUE.
ISPIN = 1
ISYM = 1
NELMIN = 4
NELM = 80
NELMDL = 0
NBANDS = 920
EMIN = -4.65
EMAX = -3.25
NEDOS = 601
IBRION = -1
ISIF = 2
NSW = 0
POTIM = 0.4
ALGO = F
LDIAG = .TRUE.
LPETIM = .FALSE.
LREAL = .TRUE.
LORBIT = 11
NPAR = 1
NSIM = 16
LPLANE = .TRUE.
LELF = .FALSE.

Has anybody encountered the same problem? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
