LOCPROJ
LOCPROJ = <sites> : <functions-Ylm-specs> : <functions-radial-specs>
Default: LOCPROJ = None
Description: by means of the LOCPROJ-tag one may specify a (set of) local function(s) on which the orbitals are to be projected. These projections are written to the PROJCAR, LOCPROJ, and vasprun.xml files.
A valid LOCPROJ specification consists of three parts separated by colons (":"), above denoted as <sites>, <functions-Ylm-specs>, and <functions-radial-specs>. These parts define the sites on which the local functions are centered, specify their angular character, and their radial behaviour, respectively.
- <sites>
- The sites on which the local functions are centered may be specified in two ways. One can use the index of the ionic positions as defined in the POSCAR file. For instance:
1 2 6-8
- will select sites 1,2,6,7, and 8, as defined in the POSCAR file.
- Alternatively one may specify a position in terms of direct coordinates of the real space lattice, for instance as:
(0.5, 0, 0)
- These modes of specification may be mixed as well, for instance as:
1 (0.5, 0, 0) 8
- <functions-Ylm-specs>
- The angular character of the local functions on the specified sites. Valid specifications are:
s p py pz px d dxy dyz dz2 dxz dx2-y2 f fy(3x2-y2) fxyz fyz2 fz3 fxz2 fz(x2-y2) fx(x2-3y2) sp sp-1 sp-2 sp2 sp2-1 sp2-2 sp2-3 sp3 sp3-1 sp3-2 sp3-3 sp3-4 sp3d sp3d-1 sp3d-2 sp3d-3 sp3d-4 sp3d-5 sp3d2 sp3d2-1 sp3d2-2 sp3d2-3 sp3d2-4 sp3d2-5 sp3d2-6
- These specifiers may be combined as well:
p sp-1 dxy
- which is means: "put p functions (≡ px, py, and pz), a sp-1 function, and a dxy function on all sites specified in the <sites> part.
- <functions-radial-specs>
- The radial part of the local functions may be of one of the three following types:
