>> Is it already the Fermi Energy defined in the article by Zunger?

> Definitely not! You should individuate the valence band maximum and use the corresponding eigenvalue in the formula as a constant. The Fermi level is the variable (you calculate the formation energy at a given Fermi level, and, possibly, the transition level between two different charge states of the same defect). The rationale is that the position of transition levels should be independent on the Fermi level. I may suggest (but do not tell prof. Zunger, please...) that Van de Walle's paper is somewhat clearer:

> A very recent review by Pacchioni and Di Valentin, which improves in some details the calculation of transition levels, can be found here:
> 
> http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/ar4002944
> 
> There is also another detail, often hidden into the papers. When you perform the calculations in a plane-wave/pseudopotential PBC framework, if you change the total charge, you also insert a background charge that shift the potential (defined up to a constant
> value) and, in turn, the eigenvalues. You should insert some DeltaV value in the formation energy formula to recover the shift. If the supercell is large, and the dielectric constant of the host matrix is high (let us say a >100-atom cell of TiO2, for instance), then DeltaV is negligibly small. Otherwise you can find something around some tenths of eV. However, Pacchioni and Di Valentin have tested a workaround for the estimate of DeltaV (see the review).

> Dear Prof. Kokalj
> Thank you very much for your kindness. I checked the positions that I gathered from MS Visualizer to prepare ibrav=7 input. I have attached two cif files, one belonging to primitive_p1, and the other belonging to conventional_p1 (here p1 means no symmetry or all atoms). Both files I generated from MS. You can see that the lattice parameters that have been used for crystal positions of atoms (from primitive_p1.cif) all belong to the primitive. Please check the files.
> If the files areopened with other programs such as Vesta, you can see the positions of file primitive_p1.cif are relative to primitive translational vectors.

I have understood how to calculate the U values for a single site, but how can i calculate the U values for both the transition metal inside the same structure, e.g. Zr and Y in YSZ structure?
