<br>
I'm trying to estimate J with the linear response approach discussed in<br>
the article by Himmetoglu and colleagues (PRB 84, 115108 (2011) ) for a<br>
T' La2CuO4 compound.<br>
I already obtained a reasonable value for U and now, staring from the<br>
GGA ground state, I'm perturbing onsite magnetizations.<br>
<br>
I get rather strange trends that you can find here (links to images at<br>
the bottom of the page):<br>

<br>
An example is also in attachment (I preferred not to add too many/heavy<br>
attachments to the email. The above link should survive long enough and<br>
contains the input and output files and other useful informations).<br>
<br>
Can someone give me a hint on the (in my opinion) odd results obtained<br>
for atoms 10, 38, 66 and 94 (they are the atoms of the other, i.e. not<br>
perturbed, antiferromagnetic sublattice in the same CuO plane).<br>
<br>
Should I trust the results obtained starting from those derivatives?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advances for your time,<br>
kind regards,<br>
