Dear Jazi

Sending the question to the forum without appropriate title is really a
great recipe of how NOT to get a reply (you were very lucky that my
student observed your message).

There are two different issues, i.e., an orbital eigenvalue (energy)
and its associated charge density |\psi(r)|^2. When you want to
plot |\psi(r)|^2 with xcrysden you need to input the charge density
isovalue -- this value has nothing to do with the orbital's energy.

To start with, input 0.01 for the isosurface and then adjust the value
as you find fit (i.e. larger or smaller values); alternatively you can
also investigate the 2D contour plots.

Best regards, Tone
