[Wien] ELF

What kind of change do you expect ? You already have ELF=1 in the Ce-4f
region.
If at all, the change should be on the Ce atom. So make a detailed plot
of ELF around a Ce atom and not a plot with so many atoms in the plane.
Also adjust the scale (finer scale only around one). Maybe you can then
see some difference.
Eventually, you may need to plot the difference between the 2 calculations.
PS: I'd calculate a difference electron density (PBE+U - PBE). A
detailed density analysis is often much more useful than ELF.
