Dear all PWscf user,
        here is My DOS calculation "pdos.out" ouput file.My scf  
calculation show the  total magnetization       =    12.01 Bohr mag/cell
      absolute magnetization    =    13.33 Bohr mag/cell

(1) What is the difference between "total magnetization" and "absolute  
magnetization " ?

and the Lowdin Charges show some information

(2) how do I calculate the atom 7 d-orbital part magnetic moment of  
spin up and spin down ?
(3) What is the physical meaning of Lowdin Charges ? Why use this  
physical quantity for spin-polarization calculation ?

Thanks a lot !
