<br>
I'm having some difficulty understanding the what the output files from<br>
projwfc.x are actually showing. I've searched through the forum and<br>
couldn't find a very informative answer regarding this question. The<br>
projwfc.x input file documentation is not very helpful either, but<br>
perhaps my understanding of total angular momentum eigenfunctions is the<br>
limiting factor.<br>
<br>
I currently have output files named (for example):<br>
prefix.pdos_atm#1(Pb)_wfc#3(p_j1.5)<br>
<br>
With data headers:<br>
# E(eV) ldos(E) pdos(E)_1 pdos(E)_2 pdos(E)_3 pdos(E)_4<br>
<br>
Now the first two columns are easy to understand, but the remaining four<br>
don't make sense to me. I've gathered that they refer to different m_j<br>
states, but they are labeled 1,2,3,4 and this confuses me. Also, #'s 1/4<br>
are identical, as are 2/3. I'm assuming this is because I didn't specify<br>
a starting magnetization.<br>
<br>
What exactly do these four pdos atomic states represent?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you very much,<br>
