[Pw_forum] How to orthonormalize evc

[Fadjar Fathurrahman]

Hi Paolo, 


Thank you for your suggestion.

Well, it seems that I got the result close to 1.d0/sqrt(2.d0) because I
tested it using gamma-point only (oxygen molecule). For other case (silicon fcc,
complex wfc) I indeed got value close to 1.d0.

Best regards,

Fadjar F.

it is safe to use old-style syntax with old-style functions like zdotc.
For complex wavefunctions (i.e. not valid for the Gamma-only case):
   norm = sqrt( abs(zdotc( npw, evc(1,ibnd),1, evc(1,ibnd),1 )) )

it is one.
