[Pw_forum] Parity In presence of Spin-Orbit Coupling

Dear QE developer and Users,

I want to calculate the parity of occupied levels in some K-points with QE,

When I turned  the Spin-Orbit interaction off in "scf.in" file (graphene as
sample material) it gave me an expected result, such that the parity

expectation values of bands are equal to  +1 and -1 which is normal.  But
by turning  the Spin-Orbit interaction on in "scf.in" file and running

"bands.in" with "Bands.x" after "scf.in" it gave the parity expectation
values equal to +2 and -2, I confused by this result. The "scf.in" and
"sc.out"

and "bands.out" are attached below.

I want to know  is it normal to being parity expectation values equal to +2
and -2 in presence of Spin-Orbit coupling? if  I did  make mistake how

can I fix it?

I'll appreciate anyone helping  me to solve this problem.

Sincerely Yours

Riemann
