[Pw_forum] Calculating projected density of states

[Stefano Baroni]

The PDOS is the imaginary part of the diagonal matrix element of the  
one-electron Green function, calculated with respect to a given  
(usually, but not necessarily, localized) orbital. In a formula:

\begin{eqnarray*}
g[\phi](\epsilon) &=& \frac{1}{2\pi} \mathrm{Im} \langle \phi |  
(\epsilon-H)^{-1}|\phi \rangle \\
&=& \sum_n|\langle \phi|\psi_n \rangle |^2 \delta(\epsilon-E_n)
\end{eqnarray*}
