[Wien] Graphite NMR chemical shifts

[Jing-Han Chen]

Hi,

  I have a further question on the metal option and temperature
broadening in case.in2. As I follow from the discussion, we have to
specify TEMP in case.in2 and kbT option for metallic system. I think I
have a little confusion about this two settings. Is the physical
meaning and unit (in Ry) of kbT option the same as TEMP in case.in2?
Why can I not specify only one of this if so?

My guess is that this option brings up some code to find the fermi surface and better identify which states are filled or empty, prior to the chemical shift calculation. Is that right, or does this option also add in a contribution of the paramagnetic (Knight shift) contribution?
