[Pw_forum] antiferromagnetism in ZB input file with 2 atoms

[mazouz moulay]

Dear PWscf users,
 
I performed a magnetic calculation for CoO in the zinc blende structure using the following input file.
 
&control
calculation = 'scf'
restart_mode='from_scratch',
prefix='1',
pseudo_dir = '/root/espresso-4.0/pseudo/',
outdir='/home/mazouz/coo/tmp/'
/
&system 
ibrav= 2, 
celldm(1)= 8.53
nat= 2, 
ntyp= 2,
ecutwfc =50, 
report=1,
nspin=2
occupations='smearing', smearing='gaussian', degauss=0.02
starting_magnetization(1) = 0.5
starting_magnetization(1) = 0.0
/
&electrons
mixing_beta = 0.7 
conv_thr = 1.0d-8

ATOMIC_SPECIES

I would like to ask you if there is any way to specify the antiferromagnetic case for the same input file ? or must I use an input file of 8 atoms? or...
Thank you in advance
