The tetrahedron method is used if
- the input data file has been produced by pw.x using the option
occupations='tetrahedra', AND
- a value for degauss is not given as input to namelist &dos
Gaussian broadening is used in all other cases:
- if @ref degauss is set to some value in namelist &DOS, that value
(and the optional value for @ref ngauss) is used
- if @ref degauss is NOT set to any value in namelist &DOS, the
value of @ref degauss and of @ref ngauss are read from the input data
file (they will be the same used in the pw.x calculations)
- if @ref degauss is NOT set to any value in namelist &DOS, AND
there is no value of @ref degauss and of @ref ngauss in the input data
file, @ref degauss=@ref DeltaE (in Ry) and @ref ngauss=0 will be used
}
