In a spin-polarized calculation, both, the spin-up and the spin-dn
densities are used when running    x lapw5 -up/dn. Depending on the flag
 "ADD" or "SUB" it will then calculate:

up +/- dn-density  (or dn +/- up), and this is of course NOT spherical
symmetric for an Fe2+ ion.

You can          mv case.clmvaldn case.clmvaldn_save        and then
                       x lapw5 -up
will plot solely the spin-up density.

The charge density has been drawn by Xcrysden. In my opinion, the spin down channel should be a perfect ball since it has five d-electrons. In fact, as in the attached file(the unit cell is not give because the size is too large to be uploaded), it does not. In the calculation, the density flag is SCF density, spin flag is spin density, the Norm flag is valence density and Debug Flag is no debug.
