Partial and projected DOS?

[Nayab Shiraz]

I want to know the difference between partial and projected DOS? In DOS analyzer we can select each atom and orbital to show DOS related to that particular atom and/or orbital. Is it the same as partial DOS?

[Daniele Stradi]

Dear Nayab,

there is no tool in QuantumATK producing a 'partial DOS'. Are you referring to the option of calculating projections in the DensityOfStates analysis object, or to something else ? In that case, one can also project on atoms, etc by specifying a projection_list when evaluating the DOS.
