Dear Xavier, Thanks for your reply reg. Co+3 substitution in ZnO. But still I have some additional queries as following.
1) By removing an electron from case.in2c, how do I ensure that the electron removed is from the Co atom (and not from Zn). 2) If there are more than one Co atom in the cell, how do I tag the Co+3 atom and differenciate it from the rest of Co+2 atoms?

If the Co(d) states are at the Fermi level, you simply have to do the following: 1. Remove one electron in the case.in2(c) file (line 2 / column 2) 2. Add a background charge "-1" in the mixer in order to have charge neutrality (line 1 / column 2) ------------------ top of file: case.inm -------------------- MSEC3 -1.d0 YES (PRATT/MSEC1/3/MSR1/a bg charge (+1 for additional e), NORM 0.2 MIXING GREED 1.0 1.0 Not used, retained for compatibility only 999 8 nbroyd nuse ------------------- bottom of file ------------------------ After the scf calculation, check the DOS and partial charges to insure that you have stabilized the Co(3+) charged state.
