SIC size consistency issue

[Xiaoming Wang]

No, my system is neutral. It seems that in this case, the Madelung 
correction (2.8373/2L_box) should be added to the energy levels since the 
unpaired electron feels a charged system. Should I add two times this 
correction since I have two unpaired electrons?

Best,
Xiaoming
