I have never tried that, but I would expect the number to depend quite<br>
sensitively on your mesh of r-points. At least, this is what I saw<br>
when I looked at normalization of Wannier functions on an r-grid.<br>
Since you want also the core electrons, you could actually expect even<br>
larger spikes.<br>

However, this I would say sounds more like some missing factor …<br>
Units? dV?<br>
