Hello,

I’m trying to run some fat bands, so projwfc.x calculations using the flag kresolveddos = True, when I realized it cannot be set to True in the PdosWorkChain.

Why? Can this flag be added? Or is there any workaround to do this?

Thanks!

Best,

Chiara

Hi @ccigna!

Which version of `aiida-quantumespresso` are you using? Support for `kresolveddos` was added in `v4.16.0`.

Important to note, the projections are also always written to the standard output file of QE (per k-point), which are parsed in `aiida-quantumespresso`. Hence, you could already access them in the `projections` output before. This might be a reason why this was blocked in the past.

This being said, there is already an existing `WorkChain` in the `aiida-wannier90-workflows` repo that allows you to compute the fat bands, even with older versions and without the `kresolveddos`.

You can find it here:

Hope that helps!
