</div><div>I am not sure about <b>"kpoint=1"</b> because in the scf output file "kpoint=1" means the \Gamma point. <br></div><div><br></div>Thanks a lot.<br><br></div>With Regards,<br></div>Koushik<br>

Dear Koushik,<br>
the charge density is obtained after a sum over the occupied k-points<br>
and bands, so you cannot print it for a single k-point.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, you can plot the contribution from a specific point<br>
"k" and band "n", which is the square modulus of the wavefunction<br>
\psi_{k,n}.<br>
<br>
The value of "kpoint" in &inputpp is the index of the k-point, as listed<br>
in the output of pw.x. If you want to plot a specific point that is not<br>
in the list you will have to do a nscf calculation first.<br>
<br>
best regards<br>
<br>
