Dear Patnaik<br />
<br />
i dont know whether i can give you proper answer but i did observe some papers by weht and pickett and Galankis papers on Heusler alloys systems they observed negative magnetic moment...Since Z direction is field direction you can have negative magnetic moment...please check the area under curve for spin down and spin up sub bands (for both positive and negative cases u can get plausible explanation)....<br />
<br />
hope this helps<br />
<br />
<br />
<br><br>With regards<br />
