Dear Yasser, Thank you for your response and suggestion. I agree that DFT+U would improve the electronic structure of Fe-oxides, but the problem I'm facing is more related to symmetry. But to confirm this, I did actually try a quick DFT+U calculation and I still have the same problem that some

Dear all Hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) crystallizes in the corundum structure. The primitive cell is rhombohedral containing 2 formula units, whereas the conventional cell is hexagonal containing 6 formula units. I'm trying to model the antiferromagnetic phase of hematite with spin ordering (+--+) in
