[Wien] Graphite NMR chemical shifts

[Robert Laskowski]

Hi,

if you have metalic case use x_nmr -metal, and TEMP fermi method in in2 (for 
TETRA Fermi level is incorrect in weight files), You may play with -kbT obtion 
for x_nmr (temperature smearing). This may help, however, metals are difficult 
to converge. 

regards

Robert
