Topic:
total magnetization and absolute
magnetization quenched.

Dear Quantum Espresso users,

Can some one bail me out of this problem. In trying to repeat some calculations of this article "http://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.197207", an unexpected magnetic behavior manifest between relax and scf calculations. Below are the details of the output:

Relax calculation

 the Fermi energy is    -3.1983 ev

!    total energy              =    -158.20644301 Ry
     Harris-Foulkes estimate   =    -158.20644301 Ry
     estimated scf accuracy    <          3.5E-09 Ry

     total all-electron energy =      -633.159253 Ry

     The total energy is the sum of the following terms:

     one-electron contribution =    -664.83395884 Ry
     hartree contribution      =     338.58658021 Ry
     xc contribution           =     -32.69935803 Ry
     ewald contribution        =     252.19023776 Ry
     one-center paw contrib.   =     -51.45032393 Ry
     smearing contrib. (-TS)   =       0.00037981 Ry

     total magnetization       =     1.00 Bohr mag/cell
     absolute magnetization    =     1.08 Bohr mag/cell

 Dear Rebaza
 Thanks so much
 
 I changed the smearing tag to "mv" or "mp" and didn't see
 changed result
 and so I use  "smearing tag= fd"  job not
 converged.
 
  yes my system is metal I increase degauss to 0.005 result
 don't changed in
 addition (-TS) is increased.
 
 I change starting magnetization for atoms in input for all
 atoms and
 obtain different total magnetization and absolute
 magnetization.
 which of them is true?I confuse in the spin polarized
 calculation
 
  total magnetization=0 and  absolute
 magnetization=1.44
 
 This is false ?
 I attach files.
 
 Thanks so much
 
 Best Regards

 Dear Elham, the smearing contribution (-TS) not exactly must
 be zero, at
 least in metallic systems. If your system hace C, Fe, N and
 O atoms. I
 think that starting_magnetizacion = 0 1 0 0 is the correct
 configuration,
 because only Fe atoms have magnetic behavior, what is the
 magnetic moment
 per atom.?. So, do you expect some value of the total
 magnetization.?
 could you provide me your whole input file, please.
 
 Best

 hello
 
 I would like to locate a good reference/thesis etc with a
 description of
 k-point sampling appropriate/specific to
 monoclinic cells, if that exists at all. In case there
 exists any rule of
 thumb, general knowledge etc, I would appreciate that
 
 After looking into the literature, I cannot really say there
 is anything
 specific, ie everything is too general as to identify a
 good
 strategy to choose your k-point set
 
 After some experimenting, it seems to me it would be really
 cumbersome to
 determine an optimal/converged set of k-points, for
 instance,
 whether using shifted Monkhorst-Pack sets with even
 parameters or
 gamma-point centred odd numbers?
 
 thanks in advance
 
 Manuel

 Dear Quantum-ESPRESSO users and developers,
 
 I want to optimize lattice parameter of my
 structure(SrCoO3). I calculated
 (relaxation)  . The lattice parameter was varied in
 steps of 0.005 angstrom
 .For magnetization of cobalt  ,I used "start
 magnetization"  for Co  . but
 in others papers lattice parameter of SrCO3 is reported
 by  Co ion
 multiplicity(spin state of cobalt)!! for example for Co ion
 multiplicity 4
 ,lattice parameter is 3.90 and for Co ion multiplicity 6,
 lattice parameter
 is 3.954!!
 How Co ion multiplicity in input of  relax
 calculation(PW.X) is effected?
 here i attached input file of relax(for optimization
 of  lattice parameter)
 
 
 Sincerely
 Tayebeh Roohandeh

 The patch for plumed v.1.3  was just updated in the svn
 version (to be
 released on june 20) and should work for CP as well. The
 patch for plumed
 v.2.0.5 may require some more work.

 Hi Tayebeh
 
 I think all what you need to calculate a helix of magntic
 moments for Co ions in  SrCO3 would be:
 
 1- Noncollinear calculations.
 2- A larger supercell to accommodate the helix.
 3- Fully relativistic pseudopotentials (such as those in
 Pslib)
 4- Define different Co species each with different direction
 for the magnetic moment
 5- You might also wish to use vc_relax rather than relax
 with cell_dofree to fix the volume but vary the shape of the
 cell. Or just vc_relax if you want to get a quick answer.
 
 
 I think all these ingredients are available and Pwscf is
 ready to tackle SrCO3 !
