ENE and :DIS of the 72 iterations

Analysis of parameter:
:ENE :DIS
in GN_Li_TEMP_TETRA.scf (showing last 1 / 1 lines)

--- ENE -----------
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =         -505.54045526
--- DIS -----------
:DIS  :  CHARGE DISTANCE       ( 0.0999309 for atom    6 spin 2)      0.1108338
