[QE-users] unable to produce spin resolved DOS and bands using ISPIN=2

[Eesha Sanjay Andharia]

Hi,
  I am trying to learn spin-resolved DOS and Bands calculation using 2D CrI3 as an example. It is doing the calculations without any error. However, the spin up and spin down channel are exactly the same qualitatively and quantitatively.

Here is my scf input file:
&control
    calculation = 'scf'
    prefix = 'fe'
    outdir = './outdir'
    pseudo_dir = './'
/
&system
    ibrav=0,
    nat=8, ntyp=2,
    ecutwfc=100
    ecutrho=320
    occupations='smearing',smearing='marzari-vanderbilt',degauss=0.01
    nspin = 2
    starting_magnetization(1)=0.0
/
&electrons
    conv_thr=1e-8
    scf_must_converge=.false.

Do I need to provide starting magnetization for both the atoms? Will that have any effect? Or is there some other input flag that I need to use?
Please help.

Best,
Eesha
