As per the literature, NiO is a rocksalt type of structure ( NaCl type) and exhibits an antiferromagnetic ordering of type-II fcc. I considered the same structure in my calculations and found FM state is more stable instead of AFM. After searching a bit more, I found that in DFT studies, the rhombohedral structure of NiO is considered. I tried with the rhombohedral structure of NiO and found the AFM state is more stable. I am not able to understand which structure I should consider for further studies. If anyone is familiar with this problem, please suggest.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks and regards,</div><div>Poonam S. </div><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br></div><div dir="ltr">Poonam Sharma<div>Research Scholar </div><div>Department of Physics</div><div>Indian Institute of <span>Technology Bombay</span></div><div><div>Mumbai - 400076<br></div>India.<br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
