[DFTB-Plus-User] NEGF_MPI: rare DOS results

[Marton]

Hi Matias,

Do you mean the high intensity spikes at energies ~-3.8 eV, -5.4 eV, -6 eV,
etc?

If yes -- I am not familiar with the NEGF code but I think it is actually a
good sign if you get those spikes (=Van Hove singularities) in the DOS of
nanotubes:

Cheers,
Marton Voros
