[Wien] Determine EMIN for valence charge density

You need to understand some basic quantum chemistry:
I'll illustrate it for Gd (but you must do the same for Pt and Si):

According to your outpputst file Gd has states above -6 Ry (this was your
selection for the valence states):
5s (-3.5 Ry)
5p+p* ( around -2.0 Ry)
4f
5d    all of them higher than -1.0 Ry
6s

"Basic chamistry" (or maybe some info in a periodic table of the elements)
tells you that the "real" valence states are the 4f,5d,6s states, while
5s and 5p are what we usually call "semicore" states. These states are included
in the calculations, but we don't want them when we plot a "valence" density.

So we have to "identify" them and for that purpose you may look into case.scf1(up/dn)
Under the labels:

:E0_0001
:E1_0001

you find energy parameters for  s and p states of the first atom (Gd)
at abbout -3.2 and -1.4 Ry and an inspection of the eigenvalue lists a few lines below
gives in fact eigenvalues in that range (you can even "count" the number of eigenvalues,
there must be as many eigenvalues around -3.2 Ry as Gd atoms in your unit cell and
3 times as much for the 5p states around -1.4 Ry)

So now you do the same for Pt semicore states and for Si (there's no semicore) and
then you know what a good EMIN value is: Any value between -1.4 and -0.5, so lets take
the middle, i.e. -1.0 Ry.
