Can someone suggest to me papers in which they have used Quantum ESPRESSO
to calculate ELF and bader charge analysis. I am a little confused, I have
seen papers on ELF calculated using other softwares, in which there is a
smooth gradient between two atoms which is absent in my case. Also, the
warning message in the output of pp.x scares me "US+ELF not fully
implemented". I am attaching the input file for SCF calculation and
post-processing calculation. I have attached the ELF image generated using
QE with previous mail.
