[Pw_forum] PDOS for P symmetry lacking in Ni

Hi,
I am doing a tutorial example of calculation of the projected DOS in Ni. It
produces the PDOS projected on S and D states, but not on P.
There are no bound P valence states in nickel. Is that the cause for not
having a P partial DOS?

States with P-symmetry component may be present in an empty band. Is there
an option to produce the P-PDOS?


Support information:
this is from the help file INPUT_PROJWFC.txt

      In the collinear case and the non-collinear, non spin-orbit case
      projected DOS are written to file "filpdos".pdos_atm#N(X)_wfc#M(l),
      where N = atom number , X = atom symbol, M = wfc number, l=s,p,d,f
      (one file per atomic wavefunction found in the pseudopotential file)


this is the head of the pseudopotential
