You wrote in an earlier email, that you put 3 4f electrons in the core and correspondingly reduced the number of valence electrons by 3.

This would correspond to a Pr2+ state, which is not ver common. Although I've not studied that much these compounds, I'd put only 2 4f electrons into the core and increase NE(val) by one. This way EF will probably be at the desired place.

(Therefore: first do a DFT+U calculation with a fairly small U. It will tell you, how many 4f electrons want to stay with Pr and then you can still put them into the core.)

Dear Prof. Blaha,

I have plotted both the band structure and the DOS in Rydberg and they match very nicely with each other. Regarding the comparison with the reported DOS and band structure one needs to give some shift to the Fermi level so that it matches the reported results. Is it because of the different potentials between VASP and Wien2K or there is some other problem? Please suggest me if I am doing something wrong.

Dear Prof. Marks,
Thank you for the suggestion. I will go through the paper. Right now I am just trying to reproduce the results for PrBi using Wien2K for a calculation which is reported by VASP. I don't know why there is difference in the Fermi level for the calculations performed using Wien2K and VASP.
