<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Dear Elliot,<br><br></div> Why would the magnetisation be exactly an integer, and this at all the iterations (and the absolute magnetisation much, much larger, even if the metal is supposed to be ferromagnetic)? Well, I would start by checking if there are enough Kohn-Sham states to occupy all the fully or fractionally occupied orbitals/bands of the majority spins. How many states and electrons do you have in your system, how large do you expect your magnetisation to be (from the known values of magnetisation of Ni) and do all those electrons fit to the number of chosen bands?<br><br></div> Greetings from Paris,<br><br></div> apsi<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2015-03-30 15:14 GMT+02:00 Elliot Menkah <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:elliotsmenkah@yahoo.com" target="_blank">elliotsmenkah@yahoo.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Thank you Ari but what bell does<br>
<br>
" total magnetization = 20.00 Bohr mag/cell" <br>
<br>
ring?<br>
<br>
Any lead information please, Thank you very much.<br>
I appreciate your help.<br>
