You can still try and change case.inst. The ionicity will come during scf.

But as I said before, in GGA most likely only ONE state will be reached (independent of your start).

You must do GGA+U and you will get a certain state. Save it.

Then modify the density matrix (case.dmatup/dn) (a more readable form is printed in case.scfdmup/dn) by changing the occupations.

Sir,

Its true that we can not generate "ionic" electron density with lstart/dstart. 
When I tried to modify .inst file according to the Co4+ ionic state, it showed error.

My query is that how can we generate spin state configuration for such an ionic 
state, it spin states for Co and Co4+ are different and accordingly the 
magnetic moments.


Please suggest.


Thanks

    Dear Wien users

    I am working on Sr2CoO4. Here I wanted to study the system with different 
spin state configuration of Co4+, which is known to be valence state of Co in 
this system. I could understand how to create:
        (a) High-spin configuration
        (b) Intermediate spin configuration
        (c) Low-spin configuration
    for the given Co atoms in the .inst file as

    Co
    Ar 3
    3, 2,2.0  N
    3, 2,2.0  N
    3,-3,3.0  N
    3,-3,0.0  N
    4,-1,1.0  N
    4,-1,1.0  N   (for HS state)
    and
    Co
    Ar 3
    3, 2,2.0  N
    3, 2,2.0  N
    3,-3,2.0  N
    3,-3,1.0  N
    4,-1,1.0  N
    4,-1,1.0  N  (for IS state)


    But my query is that .inst file takes Co as neutral atom (9
    electrons:3d74s2) and accordingly its spin state. As if Co were in 4+ 
state, I would have 5 electrons in 3d state (3d54s0) rather 9 electrons as is 
revealed from .inst file now.

    Please suggest me how to give spin state for Co4+ for this system.


    Thanks
