Available from VASP version 3.2 and upwards.

The PROOUT file is only written out if the LORBIT=5 flag is set with an appropriate RWIGS flag in the INCAR file.

The PROOUT file is similar in information to the PROCAR file but the following differences exist:

• The PROOUT file writes the real and imaginary parts of Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://www.vasp.at/wiki/restbase/vasp.at/v1/":): {\displaystyle P^{\text{SOFT},\alpha}_{lmn\mathbf{k}}} and the real part of the augmentation part Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://www.vasp.at/wiki/restbase/vasp.at/v1/":): {\displaystyle P^{\text{AUG},\alpha}_{lmn\mathbf{k}}} .
• The PROCAR file contains the information on the square, Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://www.vasp.at/wiki/restbase/vasp.at/v1/":): {\displaystyle P^\alpha_{lmn\mathbf{k}} (P^\alpha_{lmn\mathbf{k}})^{*}} , whereas the PROOUT file describes Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://www.vasp.at/wiki/restbase/vasp.at/v1/":): {\displaystyle P^\alpha_{lmn\mathbf{k}}} .
• The arrangement of the output is very different in both files.

Format

• line 1: PROOUT
• line 2: Number of kpoints, bands and ions
• line 3: Twice the number of types followed by the number of ions for each type
• line 4: The Fermi weights for each kpoint (inner loop) and band (outer loop)
• line 5 Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://www.vasp.at/wiki/restbase/vasp.at/v1/":): - ...: Real and imaginary part of Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://www.vasp.at/wiki/restbase/vasp.at/v1/":): {\displaystyle P^{\text{SOFT},\alpha}_{lmn\mathbf{k}}} for every lm-quantum number (inner loop), band, ion per type, kpoint and ion-type (outer loop)
• below : augmentation part
• last line: real part of Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://www.vasp.at/wiki/restbase/vasp.at/v1/":): {\displaystyle P^{\text{AUG},\alpha}_{lmn\mathbf{k}}} for every lm-quantum number (inner loop), ion per type, ion-type, band and k point (outer loop)

This information makes it possible to construct e.g. partial DOS projected onto bonding and anti-bonding molecular orbitals or the so-called coop (crystal overlap population function).

Warning: This file is not correctly written when LNONCOLLINEAR = .TRUE. for versions of VASP <= 6.2.1
