XTB method [@bannwarth2020]. Full documentation available at the XTB website.
The NWChem implementation makes use of the TBlite library.

ACC: Accuracy

For example, if the user wants to increase the accuracy:

 acc 1d-4

UHF: number of unpaired electrons

 uhf 3

NSPIN:

A value of nspin equal to two triggers an open-shell calculation (while the default value of 1 triggers a closed-shell calculation).

 nspin 2
