Dear all
I want to study the effect of U(habburd parameter on band gap). According to method described in coccocini phd thesis , we are able to obtain U by setting alpha to different values and   the difference in the slope of ns Vs. alpha and ns0 Vs. alpha0  is U parameter.
My question is : Do I Optimize the lattice constant After obtaining U from above procedure or not?
Does above method works for any bulk material that have d orbital?
