Dear Wien-users,

 	Could you kindly help me to interpret the EFG data. I describe
my problem in the following.

 	I am working on a complex oxide which has Fe in 2 different 
co-ordinations and different valence states.
The Vzz and EFG values are:

Atom   Vzz(*.output2up)  :VZZ(*.scf)  :EFG(*.scf)
Fe1    2.24055           2.22602      1.61974*10**21V/m**2
Fe2    0.76251           0.76631     -5.23282*10**21V/m**2  ---> ???

I don't understand why the Vzz values in *.output2up and *.scf files
are similar whereas :EFG is very different. In the example (for Indium) in the 
userguide these values are quite similar.

Could you  kindly explain me why these values are different?
Or am I doing anything wrong?

I am grateful to your kind help.

Best Regards,
Vidya

P.S.: I have used the script "runsp_lapw -p -so -orb -cc 0.0001
and *.output2up is obtained with using EFG tag instead of TOT in
*.in2 file.
