Title: "Smearing" of spin when using "flip" command
Post by: slackenerny on March 17, 2008, 01:21:51 PM
I'm using the "flip" command of TM 5.10 on a system of 3 S=5/2 centers. The centers form a triangle with two long and one short side. Flipping the center that is the furthest away works fine, but when I try to flip one of the others, I end up with "smearing" the spin density between two centers. Is there any option I could play around with, to prevent this?

best wishes

P.S.:
For the highspin case, Mulliken gives me:
4.84   4.84   4.84
when flipping the distinct center I get:
4.83   4.83   -4.82
and for one of the others I get:
4.79   -1.29   1.39
