[Pw_forum] about antiferromagnetic case

[Steve Novakov]

Hi Mutlu,

I believe you need to extend the unit cell to the fundamental magnetic 
lattice, not just the atomic Bravais lattice. You need duplicate the 
unit cell in one direction and define the Mn in each of the two subcells 
as different 'species' and treat them accordingly.
