Combined Band Diagram and pDOS

Hello All, I wanted to provide another update on creating those cool plots that have both the band diagram with a cool pDOS plot next to it. This guide will build upon my previous guides that you may have found helpful. Check out my guide on pDOS plots here and my band diagram plot here….

Density of States Calculation

In my line of research, an important tool that we use is the so-called density of states of a system. This is a very important tool for detecting and predicting such properties of a system such as the band gap and other properties. One thing I hate doing is having to remember how to do…
