Some suggestions: a) Use "literature" values from others. Of course, if the other papers were wrong then so are your results. b) Use the method in http://www.wien2k.at/reg_user/textbooks/Constraint_U.pdf -- not so easy! c) Use a reference, either thermodynamic data for the heat of formation of com

Dear Uday, For the 4f orbitals of lanthanide ions, the value of U in the range of 5 - 7 eV should be quite reasonable. In particular, for Ce, I did some constrained DFT calculations in WIEN2k some time ago, and I got Ueff = U-J ~ 6.2 eV. But this value can not be taken too serious since it dep

Dear Wien2k users and Prof. Blaha, I am working on a "Ce" based magnetic system. I tried to do LSDA+U with different values of U from 0 to 6 eV for Ce-4f sate. U=0 eV gives the minimum energy and total energy for the system increases as we increase U value. Also the DOS for Ce-4f keeps on shifting

I wish to compute the band structures of DyAl2 and Dy0.8Er0.2Al2 within LSDA+U approximation. Can any one please tell me how to decide the U and J parameters for Dy and Er? Is any value in between 5-8 eV is alright for U. You might have a look at http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.74.014409 ,
