[QE-users] syntax of using starting_ns_eigenvalue for two different localized orbitals of the same atom

[Mahmoud Payami Shabestari]

Dear Stefano,



Hi.

Thank you for your detailed explanation for the Fe case.

However, suppose the Hubbard atom is Ce, "[Xe]6s2 4f1 5d1" with two 
localized incomplete orbitals of Ce-4f and Ce-5d. Then how can one specify 
the starting_ns_eigenvalue for both of them with l=3 and l=2?

Thank you in advance.



Best regards,

mahmoud

suppose your Hubbard atom of type 1 is an Fe ( U on 3d orbitals)..., then

starting_ns_eigenvalue(3,1,1)=1.0  overwrites the third eigenvalue of the 
occupations with spin=1 (up) to 1.0

starting_ns_eigenvalue(4,1,1)=0.3 overwrites the forth eigenvalue of the 
occupations with spin=1 (up) to 0.3

starting_ns_eigenvalue(5,2,1)=0.0 overwrites the fifth eigenvalue of the 
occupations with spin=2 (dw) to 0.0

the other elements are left unchanged.

In general at the first iteration the code computes the occupation matrix 
ns, diagonalizes it, overwrites the eigenvalues if required in input and 
then calculates the output ns matrix from the (overwritten) eigenvalue 
decomposition.

if you specify more starting_ns_eigenvalue lines for a given atomic type the 
code will apply all of them independently

Dear QE-7.1 Developers,


Hi. I would like to use the starting_ns_eigenvalue()=1.0 for two different 
localized orbitals of the same atom. I do not have problem in the HUBBARD 
card, but I do not know how to use starting_ns_eigenvalue()=1.0 for 
different orbital angular momenta of the same atom.
Any comments is highly appreciated.


Best regards,
Mahmoud Payami
