Dear Krack,

thank you a lot for your comments. The &BS section seems to be really 
usefull but I am struggling to obtain the actual electronic configuration 
of my system (Y3Fe5O12). I am trying to model theese Fe3+ (d5) ions, where 
Fe1 will be spin up and Fe2 will be spin down using the attatched &BS 
section on the input. 

&KIND Fe1
      ELEMENT Fe
      BASIS_SET SZV-MOLOPT-SR-GTH
      POTENTIAL GTH-PBE-q16
      &BS
       &ALPHA
       NEL -2 -1
       L    0  2
       N    4  3
      &END
      &BETA
       NEL -2 -4
       L    0  2
       N    4  3
      &END
      &END
    &END KIND
    &KIND Fe2
      ELEMENT Fe
      BASIS_SET SZV-MOLOPT-SR-GTH
      POTENTIAL GTH-PBE-q16
      &BS
       &ALPHA
       NEL -2 -4
       L    0  2
       N    4  3
      &END
      &BETA
       NEL -2 -1
       L    0  2
       N    4  3
      &END
      &END
    &END KIND

The electronic configuration of Fe is [Ar] 4s2 3d6 and  the one of Fe3+ 
ions is [Ar] 3d5, so I tried to extract both 4s electrons and 1 of 3d in 
each spin orientation, but in the output I see that there is something 
wrong:

Guess for atomic kind: Fe1

 Electronic structure
    Total number of core electrons                                         
10.00
    Total number of valence electrons                                     
 11.50
    Total number of electrons                                             
 21.50
    Multiplicity                                                         
triplet
    Alpha Electrons
    S   [  1.00  1.00] 1.00
    P   [  3.00] 3.00
    D      2.50
    Beta Electrons
    S   [  1.00  1.00] 1.00
    P   [  3.00] 3.00
    D      1.00

Guess for atomic kind: Fe2

 Electronic structure
    Total number of core electrons

    Total number of electrons                                             
 21.50
    Multiplicity

    Alpha Electrons
    S   [  1.00  1.00] 1.00
    P   [  3.00] 3.00
    D      1.00
    Beta Electrons
    S   [  1.00  1.00] 1.00
    P   [  3.00] 3.00
    D      2.50

How could I configure the &BS section to obtain an accurate description of 
my system?

Thanks in advanced.

Best,
Diego
