Dear Hongyi,

I think the P of 2P means that is a polarized oribital which belongs to n=2.

主 题: [SIESTA-L] The meaning of 2Pdxz, 2Pdxy, 2Pdx2-y2, and so on.
收件人: siesta-l@uam.es



Hi all, 

I let siesta write out the wavefunction for graphene and then I use the  
readwfx utility to extract the information from graphene.WFSX. 

Then I find something like the following in the result file: 

==================================== 
       Wavefunction =        2 
         Energy (eV) =   -17.125661

================================ 

As you can see,  you can find  some orbital types in the output like  
this:   2Pdxz, 2Pdxy, 2Pdx2-y2, and so on.  What's  the mean of 2P ( it  
is the capital letters "P", which is different from the symbol used for  
"p"  orbital, the latter is denoted by lower case letter "p"  ) in these  
orbital's  names?   Any hints will be highly appreciated.
