<p>Hello.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Isotropic hyperfine coupling constants A_iso, calculated by QE-GIPAW, can differ by a large factor from A_iso, obtained by Orca. The factor depends on the number of unpaired electrons in the unit cell (used in QE) and in the cluster model (used in Orca).
In Orca, A_iso is proportional to spin-density at the position of a nucleus divided by <S_z>. <S_z> is the maximum value of the z component. What is the definition of A_iso in QE-GIPAW? Is it perhaps proportional to spin-density multiplied by S(S+1)/<S_z>?</p>
