SO coupling for non-standard configurations

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to use the AMFI option in SEWARD to calculate the spin-orbit coupling for other configurations than the standard ones that are pre-defined in amfi-util/getAOs2.f. Is it possile to modify this definition?

For example, I would like to calculate the relative energies of several core-hole states in which one electron is promoted from Mn-2p to Mn-3d. The spin orbit coupling due to the resulting incomplete Mn-2p occupation causes a splitting of about 10 eV in the spectrum between the Mn-2p5 (j=3/2) and Mn-2p5 (j=1/2) levels. With the standard Mn configuration [Ar]3d54s2, Molcas only takes into account the spin-orbit coupling in the d-shell.


Thanks in advance for any suggestion

Coen
