g_dos(1)

NAME
g_dos - analyzes density of states and properties based on that VERSION 4.6.3

SYNOPSIS
g_dos -f traj.trr -s topol.tpr -n index.ndx -vacf vacf.xvg -mvacf mvacf.xvg -dos dos.xvg -g dos.log -[no]h -[no]version -nice int -b time -e time -dt time -[no]w -xvg enum -[no]v -[no]recip -[no]abs -[no]normdos -T real -acflen int -[no]normalize -P enum -fitfn enum -ncskip int -beginfit real -endfit real

DESCRIPTION
g_dos computes the Density of States from a simulations. In order for this to be meaningful the velocities must be saved in the trajecotry with sufficiently high frequency such as to cover all vibrations. For flexible systems that would be around a few fs between saving. Properties based on the DoS are printed on the standard output.

 Use the absolute value of the Fourier transform of the VACF as the Density of States. Default is to use the real component only -[no]normdosno
 Normalize the DoS such that it adds up to 3N. This is a hack that should not be necessary. -T real 298.15

 Length of the ACF, default is half the number of frames -[no]normalizeyes
 Normalize ACF -P enum 0
 Order of Legendre polynomial for ACF (0 indicates none): 0, 1, 2 or 3 -fitfn enum none
 Fit function: none, exp, aexp, exp_exp, vac, exp5, exp7, exp9 or erffit -ncskip int 0
 Skip this many points in the output file of correlation functions -beginfit real 0
 Time where to begin the exponential fit of the correlation function -endfit real -1
 Time where to end the exponential fit of the correlation function, -1 is until the end

KNOWN PROBLEMS
- This program needs a lot of memory: total usage equals the number of atoms times 3 times number of frames times 4 (or 8 when run in double precision).
