<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I run sp calculation with LSDA+U+so for Nd(OH)3,
where U is calculated according to Novak s prescription. I noticed that in this
case I still have 4f bands at EF for spin up configuration which is wrong. When
I switched off so interaction then I got correct ground state i.e. 4f bands are
located within the band gap. What is explanation for this?</FONT></DIV>
