PARCHG file

[IBRAHIM]

Dear All,

Using LPARD=.TRUE. to write band decomposed charge density, PARCHG file contains 10 columns.
But at the end of the spin_up+spin_down and spin_up-spin_down there are only two numbers, for example:

3.6174 3.2749 2.9017 2.5065 2.1012 1.6996 1.317 0.9688 0.66835 0.42572
0.24606 0.12902 6.90E-02 5.63E-02 7.90E-02 0.12448 0.18131 0.24003 0.29367 0.33771
0.36992 0.38978 0.39799 0.3959 0.38506 0.36708 0.34357 0.31614 0.2864 0.25582
0.2256 0.19658 0.16931 0.14414 0.12129 0.10085 8.28E-02 6.68E-02 5.26E-02 3.99E-02
2.85E-02 1.85E-02


Please, can you tell me why there are only two numbers at the end and what about the rest of columns?

Best regards,
Ibrahim

probably simple arithmetic :-)
Multiply the number of gridpoints in each direction used in the PARCHG file (i.e. the three integers following the geometry at the beginning of the file). Then divide this number by the number of columns. The remainder is the number of values on that last line. That means there are no more numbers.

Cheers,
Danny

Thanks Dr. Danny Vanpoucke for the explanation.
