Dear Prof. Blaba and Wien2k developers,

Thank you very much for your prior help.

Recently, I was testing whether Wien2k can compute Tb metal's spin and 
orbital  moments correctly, but unsuccessful. I follow the paper by 
Dobrich et al. PRB 76, 035123 (2007). The correct spin moment should be 
around 6 uB and orbital 3 uB, but Wien gave spin moment of 11.72562 uB/2 
which is close to 6 uB (which is OK), and the orbital moment of 1.43494 uB 
(:ORB001), which is too small. My RKmax is 9.52. I include 4f in the 
valence, (case.in1: 3    0.30      0.005 CONT 1 ). I also checked my 
case.inst. It looks also fine.
Tb

6,-1,1.0  N
6,-1,1.0  N

In case.scf the number of electrons (:NOE) is consistently 38. This is 
also correct. What is even strange is that the results do not change by 
adding +U option or not.

+U results
:ORB001:  ORBITAL MOMENT:  0.72713 -1.25942  0.00000 PROJECTION ON M  1.45428
:MMTOT:  SPIN MAGNETIC MOMENT IN CELL     =   11.65626

U=0 results
:ORB001:  ORBITAL MOMENT:  0.71746 -1.24270  0.00000 PROJECTION ON M  1.43494
:MMTOT:  SPIN MAGNETIC MOMENT IN CELL     =   11.72562


I have attached my structure file in case you want to test it youself.

I can not figure out why wien did this all incorrect.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Guoping
