 +To plot Density of state, first, we have to achieve SCF solution in the same way as above (see previous [[band_structure|section]]).
 +Next we perform calculation with fixed SCF charges (switching on **''​ifixcharge =1''​**). The DOS calculation is initialized via variable **''​iwrtdos''​** in the section **''&​OUTPUT''​**. Hence, our **''​fireball.in''​** file looks like that:
 +
 +  &OPTION
 +  basisfile = Si.bas
 +  lvsfile = Si.lvs
 +  kptpreference = Si.kpts
 +  nstepf = 1
 +  ifixcharge = 1
 +  rescal = 5.5
 +  &END
 +  &OUTPUT
 +  iwrtdos = 1
 +  &END
 +
 +In addition, **''​dos.optional''​** has to be presented in a working directory having following distance:
 +
 +  1.0                   ! scale factor (leave 1.0)
 +  1        2            ! list of atoms to analyze DOS
 +  360                   ! number of energy steps
 +  -18.0   ​0.05 ​         ! initial energy, energy step 
 +  0                     ! leave untouched
 +  0.0     ​0.0 ​          ! leave untouched
 +  0.05                  ! imaginary part of Green function (controls energy level smearing) ​
 +
 +After finishing a run, we obtain **''​dens_001.dat''​**,​**''​dens_002.dat''​** including projected DOS on two Si atoms in the unit cell (including projected DOS onto individual shells of atoms). Additionally,​ there is a file **''​dens_TOT.dat''​** containing DOS. Here, a first column means energy and a second one DOS.
