Hello, As I recall, it is nonessential to change the value in case.inst. But the change of NE in case.in2 is important. It is straight to do so — when you change Fe 26 to 26.2 in case.struct, add 0.2*number of Fe (in the considered unit cell) to the existing NE. The reason is simple --- With 26 to 26.2, the valence electron count is increased.

I change Fe’s Z to 26.2. I also change case.inst to: Fe Ar 3 3, 2, 2.0 N 3, 2, 2.0 N 3, -3, 2.5 N 3, -3, 0.0 N 4, -1, 1.0 N 4, -1, 0.7 N I checked the Mail Archive. Someone said I also need change NE in case.in2. I do not know how to change it, and why I need change NE. I also do not know NE’s means. Could you tell me. Thank you. Best, Qingping Meng
