Different energy range in the plot

[pragyan19]

Hi,

For my DOS calculation I gave the energy range -8 to +8. The DOSCAR file is also written accordingly. However, when plotting using sumo-dosplot, I'm giving energy range of -6 to +6 but it writes .dat files from -3.29 to +6 and shows the plot as per .dat files. The region from -6 to -3.29 remains blank. Please see the attached png file.

How can I rectify that?

Thanks for the help

What's the Fermi energy? I think the -8 to 8 eV range for the DOSCAR is relative to some DFT reference while the -6 to +6 range for sumo is after the reference energy shift. Perhaps shifting the VBM to zero has moved the data out of range.
