Bugfix to mlwf.F: ) Projections were calculated incorrectly in the noncollinear case.

Corrected mistakes in makefile.ibm_hlrn and makefile.ibm_hlrn-serial

Unfortunately every new release immediately triggers a few bugfixes:

Bugfix to nmr.F: ) One call to SETDIJ_AVEC_ should have been to SETDIJ_AVEC_ONE_CENTER

Bugfix to us.F: ) An END SUBROUTINE SETDIJ_AVEC_ should have been END SUBROUTINE SETDIJ_AVEC_ONE_CENTER

Bugfix to david_inner.F: ) Could not be compiled without scaLAPACK. Can be now, but will not work correctly [still heavily under development anyway].

We are very sorry for the inconvience.

We describe the first-principles design and subsequent synthesis of a new material with the specific functionalities required for a solid-state-based search for the permanent electric dipole moment of the electron. We show computationally that perovskite-structure europium barium titanate should exhibit the required large and pressure-dependent ferroelectric polarization, local magnetic moments and absence of magnetic ordering at liquid-helium temperature. Subsequent synthesis and characterization of Eu0.5Ba0.5TiO3 ceramics confirm the predicted desirable properties.
