Dear Lukasz,
I assumed you were dealing with Eu²⁺, where 7 4f electrons are occupied. However, one of your 4f levels looks too close to the Fermi energy (just 0.8 eV below) if you are using U = 0.6 Ry. Are you working with Eu³⁺, where 6 4f electrons are occupied? Check your spin moment to see if it has converged to the states that you expected.
Best,
Yongbin

Dear Lukasz
It appears that you didn't add spin-orbit coupling for the calculation in your QTL. If that is correct (though it is a little strange for me to calculate Eu without SO), f(3,3) and f(3,-3) should be degenerate. Check f(3,-3) instead of f(3,3) to see if it is working. Also, you can identify which bands have dominant contributions for f(3,3)/f(3,-3) from your QTL file, at least for the Gamma point (assuming your first k-point is Gamma). It looks like your BAND 9 has dominant contributions from f(3,2) and f(3,-2). Check if the band with f(3,3)/f(3,-3) is within your energy range.
Best,
Yongbin

Dear Prof. Blaha, Prof. Marks,
Thank you for your remarks.
Regarding the fat-band plotting, I reproduced the Ylm(3,3) qtl problem
with EuO. Below I paste inq and qtlup files. The zipped outputqup file
is attached.
It seems all Ylm components are printed into case.qtlup file. Of course
I can probably plot them using external code, but w2web is so convenient
for quick checks.
In the case.inq I purposely calculated f and s states, in this order, to
make sure that an extra column behind f-levels is printed out.
In case.insp, only using jtype = 9 makes a problem, nothing is plotted.
Using jtype = 10 does not make a problem, s-character is plotted.
Best,
Lukasz
