Dear Prof. P. Blaha,

I am a PhD student in Frankfurt in the research group of Roser Valenti.
I have found a bug in WIEN2k 21.1 concerning the program qtl. The bug occurs when using QSPLIT = 6 with a user defined unitary transformation. The program does not correctly read the imaginary part of the defined basis set from case.cf_$i. The imaginary part is set to 0
which can be seen in case.outputqup/dn.

The bug can be fixed in $WIENROOT/SRC_qtl/readc.f . The problematic line is number 49:

cf(ma,mb,i,j)=acf(mb)+*dimag**bcf(mb)

dimag is a real variable which is not initialized and could be in principle any random real number.
To fix this it it possible to change this line to

cf(ma,mb,i,j)=acf(mb)+*imag**bcf(mb)

where imag has been defined as the imaginary unit. The compiler does not complain
about dimag because of the statement *implicit real*8 (a-h,o-z)*.**


I have one additional question about the DOS output from x tetra -up/dn -so connected to this issue. I am running spin polarized calculations with spin orbit coupling and the LDA+U functional. Tetra produces two files case.dos1evup and case.dos1evdn. As far as I understand the description of Wien2k, each file contains the projected DOS on the spin up and spin down character. Although I am using the spin-polarized option (as required by -orb), the calculation converges into a non-magnetic solution. From this I would expect to see the same partial DOS in the case.dos1evup/dn, which is true for the total DOS. However, this is not true for my user defined basis set in case.cf_$i, where I consider a unitary transformation only
for the d-orbitals.
The spin up character for each new vector of the basis set reproduces the results reported by previous publications (multiplied times two). However, the spin down projected DOS (for each vector) differs from the spin up channel and the published results. The sum over all projected partial contributions
of the spin up DOS is equal to the sum of the spin down DOS, which is good.
What is the reason that the spin down contributions of each vector differ from spin up? Is there a reason why I should consider only the case.dos1evup (multiplied by two)? To me it seems like the defined basis
in case.cf_$i is changed for the spin down character.

Best regards,
Aleksandar Razpopov
