I got the U value initially in negative numbers in this case <b>diago_thr_init</b> value was default, so that I changed <b>diago_thr_init</b> to 10^-11 then I got U value as 0.00881. From literature I found this value should be around 4.5 - 7eV (Phy. Rev. B 75, 035109, 2007͒). I have some doubts regarding this calculation<br><br>Is that correct, occupations means I took value in the name of <b>"N of occupied +U levels" </b>(i.e sum of Tr[ns(na)] values on all 27 Ce atoms)?<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:times new roman,serif">What is the unit for value I got (0.00881)?
