Energy level diagram

In order to do temperature averaging it is important to understand the number of excited states that are important. One can learn a lot by looking at the energy level diagram. Here we plot one for Ni$^{2+}$.

-- In order to understand the physics / chemistry of a system it is often good
-- to make energy level diagrams. i.e. plot the eigen-state energy as a function
-- of some parameter one varies.
 
-- Here we create the energy level diagram of all 190 states of NiO in the ligand
-- field approximation as a function of the Ni onsite crystal-field strenght

-- After some initial discussion the energies U and Delta refer to the center of a configuration
-- The L^10 d^n   configuration has an energy 0
-- The L^9  d^n+1 configuration has an energy Delta
-- The L^8  d^n+2 configuration has an energy 2*Delta+U
--
-- If we relate this to the onsite energy of the p and d orbitals we find
-- 10 eL +  n    ed + n(n-1)     U/2 == 0
--  9 eL + (n+1) ed + (n+1)n     U/2 == Delta
--  8 eL + (n+2) ed + (n+1)(n+2) U/2 == 2*Delta+U
-- 3 equations with 2 unknowns, but with interdependence yield:
-- ed = (10*Delta-nd*(19+nd)*U/2)/(10+nd)
-- ep = nd*((1+nd)*U/2-Delta)/(10+nd)
-- 
-- note that ed-ep = Delta - nd * U and not Delta
-- note furthermore that ep and ed here are defined for the onsite energy if the system had
-- locally nd electrons in the d-shell. In DFT or Hartree Fock the d occupation is in the end not
-- nd and thus the onsite energy of the Kohn-Sham orbitals is not equal to ep and ed in model
-- calculations.
--
-- note furthermore that ep and eL actually should be different for most systems. We happily ignore this fact

As in example 4 Quanty returns a nice plot. Note that one can add labeling. For this have a look at example 4.
