<div>Dear Wien2k Users,</div>
<div> I just wonder if anyone has ever used the Wien2k package to calculate the Slater parameters (or Slater integrals) for the electrostatic repulsion between open-shell electrons of either 3d or 4f ions in a crystal. There exists the famous Cowan
code for those calculations in the free-ion form (or in gaseous state). Prof. Novak has already provided a novel method to employ the Wien2k to calculate the crystal field parameters for the f-shell ions but not for the Slater parameters. If anyone has a kind
of experience, methods or references to calculate the Slater parameters for open shell electrons of 3d/4f ions in crystals, please kindly share with me.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>With best wishes,</div>
