```Dear Ashkan Shekaari,

Please check the documentation, for example in
<QE_ROOT>/PP/Doc/INPUT_PROJWFC.def:

text {
Order of m-components for each l in the output:
1, cos(phi), sin(phi), cos(2*phi), sin(2*phi), .., cos(l*phi), sin(l*phi)
where phi is the polar angle:x=r cos(theta)cos(phi), y=r cos(theta)sin(phi)
This is determined in file flib/ylmr2.f90 that calculates spherical harmonics.

for l=1:
1 pz     (m=0)
2 px     (real combination of m=+/-1 with cosine)
3 py     (real combination of m=+/-1 with sine)

for l=2:
1 dz2    (m=0)
2 dzx    (real combination of m=+/-1 with cosine)
3 dzy    (real combination of m=+/-1 with sine)
4 dx2-y2 (real combination of m=+/-2 with cosine)
5 dxy    (real combination of m=+/-2 with sine)
}

Greetings from Paris,

apsi
