EMIN = [real] 

Default: EMIN = lowest KS eigenvalue -

Description: EMIN specifies the lower boundary of the energy range for the evaluation of the electronic density of states (DOS).


The DOS is evaluated each NBLOCK steps, DOSCAR is updated each NBLOCK*KBLOCK steps.

Tip: Set EMIN to a value larger than EMAX, if you are not sure where the region of interest lies.
