<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">I
am a beginner of WIEN2k. The version is WIEN2k_21.1. Now, I am learning to
calculate the effective U following the note ¡°Calculating the effective U in
APW methods. NiO¡± by Georg K.H. Madsen and Pavel Novak. I have two problems
about this topic. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">One
is about generating a supercell. I generated the NiO.struct as the following:
first get the NiO.cif from the external database, then by cif2struct to
generate NiO.struct. During the supercell procedure, I set the numbers of xyz
direction are all 2, but I am not sure how to set the optional shift (I think
in this case I should set the optional shift are all 0?).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The
other problem is if a supercell is required when we calculate the effective U.
I am considering the material of Fe3Al, in which exist 12 Fe atoms. In this
case, do I have to generate a supercell of Fe3Al to calculate the effective U
of Fe? Or could I set one of Fe atoms as an impurity.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
