Dear Gerhard, deal All,

Thank you for the answer.

Yes, this is indeed quite obvious with 3/2 and 1/2 etc. Now I see that 
the difference in occupation inside the sphere comes from slightly 
different radial wave functions for 3/2 and 1/2.

Is there a "right way" to deal with the symbol size when plotting the 
fat bands?

Best,
Lukasz
