[Wien] Slater TELNES/XAS method (or core hole) for magnetic atom

[Peter Blaha]

If you excite a spin-up core electron it should in principle go into a 
spin-up conduction band state (on that atom AND into an l+-1 state).

These conditions can never be fulfilled in general. If you are lucky, 
the electron goes into the correct state (AND SHOULD CHANGE THE SPIN 
STATE !!), if not the electron (eg. for O-K spectra goes into a TM-d 
state) goes somewhere else. This is the reason why the instructions say: 
"either increase NE in case.in2 or put a background charge in case.inm".

Core-hole calculations are an approximation .....
