# Electronic Structure

Band gaps are computed using Pymatgen's [EIGENVAL parser](https://pymatgen.org/pymatgen.io.vasp.outputs.html#pymatgen.io.vasp.outputs.Eigenval.eigenvalue_band_properties), which uses the Kohn-Sham eigenvalues to compute the energy gap. In all cases, the displayed band gap is from a self-consistent calculation. We note that band gaps using the PBE functional are typically underpredicted compared to experiment. Although available for only a portion of the QMOF Database, band gaps calculated with the HSE06 functional are likely to be more accurate.

Density of states: TBD.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.materialsproject.org/apps/explorer-apps/mof-explorer/property-definitions/electronic-structure.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
