26. The PDOS provides valuable qualitative information even if there is no natural definition of the projection sphere cutoff radius rc. From the Bader analysis it is possible to define a physically motivated choice of rc (designed to enclose the same amount of charge as the Bader volume). A safe choice is rc =1 Å, that prevents any overlap in the atomic projection. We find no qualitative differences in the PDOS obtained with these two values of rc.
