Dear Giacomo, If the supercell is charge neutral which is the default, then one aims at simulating a neutral substitutional defect with respect to Ti. In this case V in 4+ oxidation state which corresponds in the naive fully ionic picture to V losing 4 of its valence electrons to oxygen and

Dear QE users, Studyng some Vanadium substitutional defects in a TiO2 matrix I have obtained the cluster configuration using the vc-relax procedure. After that, I plotted the charge density around the defect. I found that charge density around Vanadium is higher than the one near Ti in non
