Dear all,

I am using AIM to compute atomic charges for a spin polarised PAW calculation
(nspden 2). I used the PAWDEN file with AIM. However, I obtained a total 
number
of electrons that is lower than expected, i.e. it does not sum up to the 
number
of valence electrons in the pseudopotentials. I also ran the same calculation
without spin polarisation (nspden 1) and I got a good total number of
electrons. 

Finally, I made the same tests with the DEN file but this time the results for
nspden 1 and nspden 2 were identical.

I know that the DEN file stores the information for a spin polarised
calculation in two columns : the total density and the spin up density. Is it
the same for the PAWDEN file?

Sincerely,
