The NICS file contains the NMR nucleus-independent chemical shielding (NICS) in ppm. It is written if NUCIND = .TRUE. is set and no POSNICS is present. The format is the same as CHGCAR with a header to define the grid and then 9 blocks that correspond to the indices of the chemical shielding tensor σij: σxx, σxy, σxz, σyx, σyy, σyz, σzx, σzy, and σzz.
