<pre>Hi Paolo, <br><br><br><br>>><i> the restriction is in this code<br></i>>><i> if ( ((MOD(NINT(tot_magnetization_),2) == 0) .and. (MOD <br></i>>><i> (NINT(nelec_),2)==1)) .or. &<br></i>>><i> ((MOD(NINT(tot_magnetization_),2) == 1) .and. (MOD <br>

setting tot_magnetization=0, or 0.1, 0.2, etc, stops due to the above instruction in versiom 4.2.1. <br>This is one more reason to change to the newest version. <br><br><br><b>You stated something in a previous post</b><a href="mailto:pw_forum%40pwscf.org?Subject=%5BPw_forum%5D%20why%20are%20there%20two%20Fermi%20energies%3F&In-Reply-To=0CD095EE-2EC8-4E33-9F7F-334812E8089C%40sissa.it" title="[Pw_forum] why are there two Fermi energies?" target="_blank"></a><br>

<br><font style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" size="2">Finally, I plotted Energy vs magnetization. Indeed, I have a minimum at total magnetization equal 1. However, the <br>behavior is strange. The plot of E vs M is linear at each side of the <br>
minimum, with a kink at M=1. Should'n it be rather like a parable ? <br>Please, see the plots here<br><br><a href="http://www.gnm.cl/emenendez/pmwiki.php/Temp/Plots?action=upload&upname=impurity-energy.eps" target="_blank">http://www.gnm.cl/emenendez/pmwiki.php/Temp/Plots?action=upload&upname=impurity-energy.eps</a><br>

That is not converged, using a 3x3x3 grid the lowest energy seems to be <br>for null magnetization (I am doing more calculations). Maybe the kinks are due to insufficient Brillouin zone sampling. </font><br>
