<div>O atoms are nonmagnetic so that's why <span style="font-family: Tahoma, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 12pt;">starting_magnetization for O was removed. </span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: Tahoma, serif, EmojiFont;">> But, comparing the results from qe-7.1 and qe-6.7, one notices significant changes in the input and outputs of feo_user_ns files.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>FeO is metallic in DFT while it is insulting in nature. The difference between the new and old behaviour of QE is the starting occupations of the Fe-3d manifold. In older versions of QE (before 7.1) the <font size="3">starting occupations are hard-coded to be 6 (see PW/src/tabd.f90</font><font size="3">) while in QE7.1 the starting occupations are read from the </font>pseudopotential (in this particular example it is 7). It turns out that in this example different starting occupations for Fe-3d states lead to the convergence to different metallic ground states of FeO, but in any case both are wrong ground states (one needs +U and to use starting_ns_eignevalue to open a gap and thus obtain the correct ground state). But if you want to restore the old behaviour of QE in the new version (i.e. 7.1) you need to specify in the input the new keyword Hubbard_occ(1,1) = 6.0 and <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hubbard_occ(2,1) = 6.0 (because you have Fe1 and Fe2) </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">- in this case the code reads the starting occupations from the input and not from the pseudopotential. </span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div>
