Without knowing your system, it is impossible to comment on whether the concept of local charge exists, meaningfully. Can you specify your system? For example, there is no such thing as a widely-accepted method to calculate local charge because the concept of local charge does not exist, rigor

Mr. Hosseini, I am not sure what type the local charges and magnetizations QE prints by default, but you should use a widely accepted method to calculate local charges, such as Bader analysis. I should note that there is no "correct" way to calculate a local charge. However, there are many wa
