Hello,

I am trying to read wave functions from pw_export.x output. To check whether I 
have done it correctly, I calculated <\psi_n|P|\psi_n>(P is momentum operator 
and is -i\hbar\partial_r) using fourier coefficients of wave functions, which 
should be proportional to band derivative. However, it turns out this is not 
the case. Now there are two possibilities:


1. Is it because I made some mistakes while reading wave functions? I think 
pw_export.x stores fourier coefficients of wave functions in 'Eigenvectors' tag 
and fourier components are stored in 'Wfc_grids'.


2. Is <\psi_n|P|\psi_n> not proportional to band derivative using 
pseudopotentials?



calculation details:


I am using norm conserving pseudopotential with PBE xc functional.



Best!
