I guess the problem is in the    "nonmagnetic"  calculations.

When using GGA+U   you MUST use a spin-polarized setup, i.e. use

init_lapw -sp

However, you can start with non-spinpolarized atoms (instgen -nm before init_lapw) and also restrict the scf cycle to have zero magnetizations using:

runsp_c_lapw -orb -so

PS: Did you change case.inorb and indmc for f-electrons ?
PPS: When editing the dmatup/dn files, be sure you don't destroy them (adding lines, ....)

Dear All,

At first I have performed nonmagnetic GGA+U+SOC calculations for a Sm based system using Wien2k. The energy cut off was set at -6 Ry and the Sm 4f states were included in the calculations. But when I look at the case.dmatup/dn files I can see that there are no Sm 4f electrons either in the spin up/spin down case. I am not able to understand this. Why there is no Sm 4f electron in both the case.dmatup/dn file. Is it because I have performed non-magnetic GGA+U+SO calculations??

Actually I want to perform calculations for Sm in Sm 2+ state in Wien 2k. I have followed some posts which were already there in the mailing list and then tried changing the occupation in case.dmatup/dn file according to what I needed for a Sm2+ valency. I changed the values in case.dmatup files and put 0.989 for ml = -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 (though I am not sure in which term I should change the occupancy as there are 14 terms, but then I checked the following post

and then put the occupancy at 1st term for ml=-3, 3rd term form ml =-2, 5th term for ml= -1, 7th term for ml= -1, 9th term for ml =1, 11th term for ml =2 and the 13th term for ml =3 is kept as 0 to make Sm 4f 6 electrons (Sm2+) occupied in spin up. Is it correct to get Sm2+ state??. I have not changed anything in case.dmatdn file.

But then when I run x orb-up as suggested by Prof. Blaha

I get the following error.

There are some discussions for spin polarized calculations but I could not find a single discussion for changing the occupancy in the case of non magnetic GGA+U+SO calculations.

I would be very grateful if anyone could help me to perform nonmagnetic GGA+U+SO calculations using Sm2+ valency in Wien2k. Looking forward for some help.


Sincerely,
