<div dir="ltr">Dear Quantum Espresso users,<br><br><br>I am trying to get the magnetization by creating one vacancy <br>in 5x5 supercell of graphene.<br>With different values of degauss the total magnetization is <br>changing surprisingly. Is there anything wrong with my input ?.<br>

Could anybody please tell me  some references where I<br>can read detail about smearing and degauss ?.<br><br><br>
The total magnetization with  different degauss are given as below,<br>
<br>
