Sorry I forgot to add the files, they are attached in this mail (the pseudo are the SC pseudo from PseudoDojo with PBE functional).

I noticed that it happens only for bands that are degenerate. Could it be that the program does a rotation to print the proj.dat.projwfc_up file and not for the atomic_proj.xml ?


Thank you,

Léo Gaspard

    Dear QuantumEspresso users and developers,


    I am trying to parse the atomic_proj.xml file in order to get the
    projections of the wavefunction on the atomic orbitals. I then
    computed
    the weight and compared it to the one reported in the
    'proj.dat.projwfc_up' file generated by projwfc.x (QE version 6.8).

    For some projections it worked very well, but for other it did not
    and
    the weight was very different.

    As an example, the projection on the 3rd atomic wavefunction for
    the 1st
    k-point and 12th band is -0.100392648675825 -0.08369317912931304i ,
    which gives a weight of ~0.0171 whereas in the 'proj.dat.projwfc_up'
    file, the weight written is 0.2336877541.


    Is there any explanation as to why these two values are not the
    same in
    both files ?


    Best regards,

    Léo Gaspard,

    PhD Student, LCPQ - Toulouse
