[Pw_forum] roblem with bfgs algorithm optimizer for spin polarized system

[pc229 at kent.ac.uk]

Thanks, 
the solution to the  problem was cell_dofree,
removing the optimization works fine,  even if at the second SCF hemaite starts with
absolute magnetization equal to 0.47, and after some cycles it's
becoming higher 13.34 Bohr mag /cell. It is allright ?
Thanks Piero
