In this exercise you will perform calculations of properties by exploiting the wavefunction of an MgO crystal obtained in the previous exercise.
A prerequisite for calculating properties is to analyse a wavefunction,
otherwise the properties items are grayed out.
Calculate->CRYSTAL->Analyse Current Wavefunction
The Job List panel will open automatically and look something like this;
Select the job and the status line should
report "Job has completed" - like this;
Click on Recover Files.
Select Calculate -> CRYSTAL -> Properties -> Band + Dos.
The CRYSTAL Band + Dos panel will open,
set the Start Band and the End Band equal to 8 and 11,
respectively.
Select OK and the properties calculation will start as evident from the Job List panel
