Hi Peng,<div><br></div><div>r.x assigns the values of the response matrices only by considering the distance between atoms and whether they have the same spin and type or not. This information has to be given by the user in the positions file "filepos" read by &input_mat. If B(1) and B(2) are different types (e.g. crystallographically) you should perturb them separately, as you outlined in the procedure, and make sure that ntyp=3 (type 1 is B(1), type 2 is B(2) and type 3 is O) in the namelist &input_mat that goes into r.x</div>

<div>I don't know the details of r.x code
but I think that, physically, what matters is the two atoms are
crystallographically equivalent or not .therefore I think space
group symmetry is the relevant one.<br>

<pre>Dear All,
In the calculation of U, how can we determine the equivalence of the ions,
by site symmetry or space group symmetry?
E.g ABO3, B ions has 2 different site symmetries (B(1) B(2)). Shall we run
calculation on perturbing B(1) and B(2) ions or just a B ion?
In order to find U in B ions, I tried to run calculation with perturbing
just on B, and r.x gave some errors that it needs to read more data.
So I guess it needs the perturbed data from other atoms. Shall I use the
procedures listed below?
1. run scf calculation with Hubbard_U(i)= 1.d-20
2. run scf with perturbing on an A ion
3. run scf with perturbing on a B(1) ion
4. run scf with perturbing on a B(2) ion
5. run scf with perturbing on an O ion
