I have relaxed a structure, and performed a SCF calculation followed by 
projwfc.x to generate Lowdin charges.

Below is the output from projwfc.x.

Atoms 1-6 are Ni, 7-24 is O, 25-48 is C, and 49-54 is H.

How do I go about converting the total charge on each atom to a partial atomic 
charge? I tried a few different methods and I end up with a signifcantly 
charged structure (ie. + 10 e-).

Lowdin Charges:
