Hi Pablo, Can you clarify your first sentence? I thought that when we do LDA+U in the quenched magnetism mode (runsp_c_lapw), the U (and J) would affect the band structure --- You are right, the U can affect the band structure, I tried in YbB6 --- Thanks,

Anup, If you have done a non-magnetic calculation then there is no point to include U and J (*inorb) Now, a question; why do you say that Yb exists in a mixed valent state? I calculated this compound and I got a large Yb:4f state at Ef, and a tiny Yb:5d, the B contribution is also very small

No, the valency of Yb is not 2.28 and B is not 1.37 Chemical "Valence" stems back to the original work of Pauling, and in a modern interpretation is very close to the Bond Valence Sum which are given by "x nn". It depends upon local co-ordination. Experimental "valence" measurements such as

Dear All, I have done non-magnetic calculations for YbB6 where Yb exist in mixed valent state. The scf has been converged using U and J along with SOC. I wanted to get the information about the valency of the respective atoms after convergence and when I checked the case.scf file I found the
