[Pw_forum] how to build cell for diamagnetic material?

[duchl06]

hi, thank you for the explanations.
 i read some book and found that the  diamagnetism is a normal, universal characteristic of the material, it is covered by other magnetism in non-diamagnetic materials.
 and some other told me that: paramagnetism is random orientation of spins throughout the material,
 Diamagnetism is local magnetic moment (no spins).So non spin-magnetisation calculation is indeed the closest thing to diamagnetism simulation.
Duy Le said  Diamagnetic materials are either AFM or FM, but there are diamagnetic materials, like Cu, Ag.
so, could I comprehend like this: 
 when do a calculation for AFM and FM materials, just do as Duy Le, Hui Wang and Paolo Giannozzi said.
 when do a calculation for DM materials or (paramagnetism)PM materials, just turn the spin polarized off?

Oh, I see what you meant now. Diamagnetic materials are either AF or FM. Just do spin polarized calculation with starting_magnetization. I don't see any different between diamagnetic VS. AF/FM unless you have them in external magnetic file.

Dear Chen: 
You can use "   nspin = 2 ,   starting_magnetization(1) = 1.0,starting_magnetization(2) = -1.0,".
Then PWscf will change magnetization during scf or relaxation calculation.
If the start state is  antiferromagnetic state(zero initial magnetization), the scf result would be  zero magnetization(antiferromagnetic or paramagnetic).

thanks every one's reply!
hi, Hui Wang
the example you supplied is a calculation for a antiferromagnetic material, i mean how to set the start magnetic moment for the diamagnetic material, 

 

best regards!

Hear is an example about graphene ribbon antiferromagnetic calculation.
Remember: different "starting_magnetization" atoms are treated as totally different atoms.
