Hi,

In the vasp.4.6.12 version, when performing a DOS calculation (LORBIT=12, PAW, GGA 91, blablabla), a table appears at the end of the OUTCAR file, named "total charge".

WHAT is its meaning ?

Cheers.

(since this mel, we used the "Bader charge analysis" http://theory.cm.utexas.edu/bader/
Great !

The program takes the RWIGS value from your INCAR file and integrates the charge about each atom with radius equal to RWIGS. The numbers given above correspond to the s,p,d contribution of this atom-centred charge density
