<br>
I have doubt in calculating magnetic moment. Found few communications
on this topic but no where a clear answer is found. If i want to find
out the magnetic moment of an atom in a system, how am i going to get
it. After doing the pdos calculations the *.pdos.out file is obtined
which contains the Lowdin charges. For example say the following is the
portion of the Lowdin charges obtained. <br>
<pre>Lowdin Charges:<br> Atom # 5: total charge = 4.5686, s, p, d, f = 0.2749 0.8321 3.4616<br> spin up = 2.9945, s, p, d, f = 0.1449 0.4269 2.4227<br> spin down = 1.5742, s, p, d, f = 0.1300 0.4052 1.0390<br> polarization = 1.4203, s, p, d, f = 0.0149 0.0217 1.3837<br><br><br>How do i get the magnetic moment for the atom 5 from this? The total magnetization <br>is reflected in the *.scf.out file. Is there any formula regarding this?<br>Please advise.<br><br>Thanks in advance<br>regards<br>Padmaja<br></pre>
