Dear users

I have a structure which is doped with boron atom . for calculating
magnetization I use this input file . but the total magnitization
flactuate between possitive and negative result although the absolute
magnitization is possitive .is it reasonable ?
I appriciate if anyone have any suggestions to this condition.

here is my input file  and output result
