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>> Research Scholar<br>> Dept of Physics<br>> IIT Bombay<br>> Mumbai, India<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Pw_forum mailing list<br>> <a ymailto="mailto:Pw_forum@pwscf.org" href="/mc/compose?to=Pw_forum@pwscf.org">Pw_forum@pwscf.org</a><br>> <a href="http://www.democritos.it/mailman/listinfo/pw_forum"
