<div>Dear All,</div><div><br></div><div>In the calculations of U, I remember that I got some advice from the forum that the equivalence of the ions is determined by space group symmetry not site symmetry. E.g AB2O3, B ions has 2 different site symmetries (B(1) B(2)). We should only run the calculation on perturbing B ions. But from Dr. Matteo Cococcioni's paper (PRB 71, 035105 (2005)), both Fe1 and Fe2 of fayalite are perturbed and have different U values. I think Fe1 and Fe2 are different in site symmetry. So I am just curious which is the best way to do the same kind of calculations.</div>
