According to method described in coccocini phd thesis , we are able to obtain U by setting alpha to different values and the difference in the slope of ns Vs. alpha and ns0 Vs. alpha0 is U parameter.<br>My question is : Do I Optimize the lattice constant After obtaining U from above procedure or not?<br>Does above method works for any bulk material that have d orbital? <br>Ali Kazempour<br>
