[Pw_forum] U for Oxygen

Dear Matteo
I used your comment and followed   your example for NiO and I succeed  to get U for TiO2. But in file Ur16.out I see three column . The first is number of atom in supercell , second is U value for Ni atom and I don,t know  the third? does the third belong to  U value for Oxygen or not? Because the third column kas big value?


another question is for isolated atom Hubbard parameter. What do you expect about the value of U for Isolated atom? Is this big value (greater than 10 eV) or  it would be tiny value?
should we choose for running the script for isolated atom only gamma point or we have to choose a fine mesh?
thanks a lot

Dear Ali,

1, -1, 0 are just spin indexes to tell the code what is the relative 
magnetization of the atoms (parallel, antiparallel, or none). if
your system is non magnetic put all 0. or set magn = .false. and put 
nothing.
you should look at the examples on Fe and Si as well and learn from 
there by comparison.
