Description: Estimation of the J magnetic coupling using the GGA+U method (Dudarev's approach).

Using the relation J = (EFM - EAFM) / 4, antiferromagnetic (AFM) and ferromagnetic (FM) configurations have to be studied

NiO GGA+U AFM
  SYSTEM    = "NiO"

Electronic minimization

  LREAL     = .False.
  ISTART    = 0
  ISYM      = -1
  NELMIN    = 6

  MAGMOM    = 2.0 -2.0 2*0  # AFM conf.
  #MAGMOM    = 2*2.0 2*0  # FM conf.

Necessarely, the J magnetic coupling decreases with the increasing of the Ueff value. To assess the obtain value, similar calculations could be done using a hybrid functional.
