Dear all,

I want to use the methods in PHYSICAL REVIEW B 71, 035105 (2005) and PHYSICAL 
REVIEW B 84, 115108 (2011) to obtain the U and J in my system. My system is a 
CsPbCl3 supercell where one singlet Pb(II) atom is replaced by a sextet Mn(II) 
atom whose five d electrons are parallel. I need to find the U and J of the Mn 
atom.

According to the tutorial 
(https://hjkgrp.mit.edu/tutorials/2011-05-31-calculating-hubbard-u/), I need to 
know the occupation numbers of the Mn d orbitals. The result of projwfc.x shows 
two d shells of the Mn atom, one halfly occupied (spin-up: 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 
0.9; spin-down 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1) and the other one unoccupied (both 
spin-up and spin-down: 0.05, 0.05, 0.05, 0.05 ,0.05, the numbers are only for 
demonstration). My first question: Should I consider both d shells or only the 
halfly occupied one for each alpha/beta perturbation? Or does this mean that 
EACH d shell should have its OWN U and J?

My second question is on how to obtain the occupation numbers of the first SCF 
iteration for bare response. As far as I know, pw.x does not export the 
wavefunctions to pwscf.save until the job is done, so I wonder how to have the 
unconverged wavefunctions in the pwscf.save.

I would appreciate it if anyone helps me with these two questions.
