[Pw_forum] a question about MnSe

[mohnish pandey]

Dear Duy,
               I have done Lowdin analysis for MnSe wurtzite and rocksalt
structure. The results for total polarization are:
*Wurtzite :*
Mn1  ~ 1.82
Mn2 ~ -1.80
Sn  ~  0.0
Spilling parameter = 0.31

*Rocksalt:*
Mn1 ~  0.40
Mn2 ~ -0.40
Sn  ~   0.0
Spilling parameter = 0.48
