The article titled "Computation of Materials Properties at the Atomic
Scale" by Dr. Schwarz states [1]:
/The size of the matrix is mainly given by the number of plane waves
(PWs) but is increased slightly by the additional local orbitals that
are used./
As mentioned at [2,3], while in the case directory for your structure
after running the scf calculation [4], use the terminal command:
grep :RKM *.scf
The command should output a line(s), for example similar to [5]:
:RKM : MATRIX SIZE 2241LOs: 42 RKM= 7.00 WEIGHT= 8.00 PGR:
From the above line, it seems that the number of PWs is 2199 (= MATRIX
SIZE - LOs = 2241 - 42)
