If I relax a dimer molecule and I get this result in OUTCAR

Spin component 1

k-point 1 : 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000

If I want to plot band decomposed charge density by using this;
LPARD=.TRUE.
IBAND = 1
LSEPB=.TRUE.

But band No 1. has a difference energy for each spin (up and down). So, What dose VASP do for this case ?
It'll will choose only spin up or down or mix ?
thank you

Hello. Have you solved the problem? I meet the same question. Could you tell me howto solve it.

PARCHG file contains two mixed densities alpha+beta and alpha-beta. With a little bit of programming you can separate alpha and beta spin densities.
