[DFTB-Plus-User] Mulliken analysis along the trajectory

Dear Donyu,

you can find the atomic gross charges in the xyz output file, just after 
the coordinates, for every atom. This is a convention several programs 
understand.

What do you mean by ESP? The value of the electrostatic potential at the 
position of the atom?

Best regards,

Bálint
