[Wien] LDA+U, spin up and down

LuFeO3 has 5 atoms per f.u. with one Fe.

You have 2 Fe atoms (5 and 14), thus I wonder how you manage to have at 
least 14 different atoms per unit cell. Unless the Fe atoms have MULT=2 
or higher, you can have at most 10 atoms/cell. So the question is: is 
your stoichiometry correct ?

Also: What are the :MMI and :MMT ? Are the Lu non-magnetic ? Is :MMT~0

If spin-up .ne. spin-dn it means that some atoms are not AFM ordered 
(even when the Fe are).
