[Pw_forum] Doubt in starting magnetization value

[Padmaja Patnaik]

Dear all

I have the following doubt. Is it possible that in a non magnetic sample, when i perform the scf calculations with a small value of starting magnetization (starting_magnetization=0.5) for each type of atom in the sample, then the final value of 'total magnetization' obtained will be some positive value? I expect that 'total magnetization' to be zero irrespective is the starting magnetization value as the sample is non-magnetic.
