<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Dear all<br><br>I have the following doubt. Is it possible that in a non magnetic sample, when i perform the scf calculations with a small value of starting magnetization (starting_magnetization=0.5) for each type of atom in the sample, then the final value of 'total magnetization' obtained will be some positive value? I expect that 'total magnetization' to be zero irrespective is the starting magnetization value as the sample is non-magnetic. <br><br>Regards<br><br>Padmaja Patnaik<br>
