The POSNICS file is an input file that defines the positions to calculate the NMR nucleus-independent chemical shielding (NICS). If it is present in the directory running the job, it will be used by default, though it can be made explicit using LPOSNICS = True. The first line defines the number of NICS positions, followed by the positions of the NICS in direct coordinates, i.e., as fractions of the lattice parameters [math]\displaystyle{ {\vec a}_1, {\vec a}_2 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ {\vec a}_3 }[/math]:
