perform an all-electron calculation and find that one electron is
forfeit to the surface (so Co has a + charge), yet they still find the
spin to be 3/2. When I use pseudopotential calculations on the same
system, I get a similar charge (forfeiting one electron to the surface)
but my spin is 1.<br>
<br>How can this be?</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><font size="3"><br></font></div><div><font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" size="3" color="#888888">-- <br>Izaak Williamson<br>Research Assistant<br>Physics Department<br>Boise State University</font><br><span></span></div></div></body></html>
