What does this mean?
In my understanding, as soon as you break spherical simmetry, d states
can mix among themselves and they can also hybridize with states with
different angular momentum.

The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the occupation matrix built by
project KS eigenstates onto the d atomic orbitals (as defined, for
instace, in PP/projwfc.f90) and summing over the BZ.

You can get the occupancies by "grepping" the lines which start with
"eigenvalues". The eigenvectors tell you which of the original d
states take part in each eigenstate and their weight.

The "occupations" matrix should be what you want. It is the n_{I,m,m',
\sigma} matrix before the diagonalization procedure of above, hence it
contains the occupations on the orginal atomic orbitals (not mixed).
Please have a look at the PRB of Cococcioni & de Gironcoli (2005) and
at subroutines write_ns.f90 and new_ns.f90 in the PW/ folder.
