<div dir="ltr">To cross-check something else, I just ran Dy4+ with two alternative spin configurations, 4f7 and 5d7. The result confirms something else, but the difference in energy is massive with 5d7 lower by about 300 Ryd. Comparable results with PBE, PBEsol, LDA. Hacking lstart to increase RMAX0=25, NPT=1281, NPT00=290 and RMT 4.02 (was 2.02) had minimal effect.<div><br></div><div>For reference, while the valence energies (4f versus 5d) increase this is more than offset by a significant reduction in the deeper core energies. <br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Professor Laurence Marks</span><br></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.8px">"Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought", </span><span style="font-size:12.8px">Albert Szent-Gyorgi</span><br><a href="http://www.numis.northwestern.edu" target="_blank">www.numis.northwestern.edu</a> ; <span style="font-size:12.8px">Corrosion in 4D: </span><a href="http://MURI4D.numis.northwestern.edu" style="font-size:12.8px" target="_blank">MURI4D.numis.northwestern.edu</a><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Partner of the CFW 100% program for gender equity, </span><a href="http://www.cfw.org/100-percent" style="font-size:12.8px" target="_blank">www.cfw.org/100-percent</a></div><div>Co-Editor, Acta Cryst A</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
