[Pw_forum] Nanojunction calculation

Hi all

I am  trying  to do a nanojunction calculation with 82 Cu atoms as
electrodes and 1 Co atom in the middle of the junction.

Because there is a cobalt atom in my system, I expect that I will have a
 spin polarized result.But in contrast my system converged into zero total
magnetization.

Here is my input,and part of my output.

I wonder if anything wrong with my input?

thanks!
