[Pw_forum] Local magnetic moment (Padmaja Patnaik)

[ramesh kumar]

Dear Patnaik

i dont know whether i can give you proper answer but i did observe some papers by weht and pickett and Galankis papers on Heusler alloys systems they observed negative magnetic moment...Since Z direction is field direction you can have negative magnetic moment...please check the area under curve for spin down and spin up sub bands (for both positive and negative cases u can get plausible explanation)....

hope this helps
