Dear wien2k user,
                          I want to reproduce DOS  of FeCr2S4 which is
published     Phys. Rev. B 59, 10018 - 10024 (1999)
[Issue 15 – April 1999]
http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PRB/v59/i15/p10018_1
              The LSDA calculation yeilds the ferrimagnetic half metallic
states for FeCr2S4 which I get both for LMTO and LAPW calculation.
Using LSDA+U I get insulator for LMTO method  but LAPW method it remain half
metal  .I also used gga+u . I tried with different U and J parameter  for
LAPW  method.

    The necessary files which i used for LAPW calculation are

LAPW magnetic moment which I get which is quite ok but To make it as a
insulator I am not able to find out .
       MAGNETIC MOMENTS OF MIXED CHARGE DENSITY
:MMINT: MAGNETIC MOMENT IN INTERSTITIAL =    0.25471
:MMI001: MAGNETIC MOMENT IN SPHERE   1    =   -3.29972
:MMI002: MAGNETIC MOMENT IN SPHERE   2    =    2.72983
:MMI003: MAGNETIC MOMENT IN SPHERE   3    =   -0.07183
:MMTOT: TOTAL MAGNETIC MOMENT IN CELL   =    3.99994

I used U and J parameter for this calculation

 Cr   U     3  5   7   10      J  1  1   1   1
Fe    U     2   4  6     9      J  1   1   1   1
   Also I used  U_effective
 Is it possible to get insulator using LAPW calculation. Is there any silly
mistake .
   Any kind of help is highly appreciated. If any farther information is
requierd you can mail me .

                               Swarup.
