Task

Calculation of NiO, an antiferromagnet.

  • AFM coupling: 4 atoms in the basis (instead of 2).

INCAR

SYSTEM = NiO    
 
ISTART = 0
 
ISPIN = 2
MAGMOM = 2.0 -2.0 2*0

  • Initial magnetic moments of 2μB (Ni) and 0μB (O).
  • AMIX=0.2 and AMIX_MAG=0.8 (default), BMIX and BMIX_MAG practically zero, i.e. linear mixing.

Calculation

  • The total magnetic moment should be 0 in the OSZICAR file:
DAV:  13    -0.267936242334E+02    0.12794E-03   -0.12638E-04   552   0.298E-01    0.169E-02
DAV:  14    -0.267936352231E+02   -0.10990E-04   -0.21775E-05   520   0.107E-01
   1 F= -.26793635E+02 E0= -.26793635E+02  d E =0.000000E+00  mag=     0.0000
  • The partial and integrated magnetic moments within the PAW spheres are given in the OUTCAR file:

-----------------------------------------------
tot        0.000  -0.003   0.003   0.000
  • The example total DOS and the partial l-decomposed DOS for the d orbitals of Ni should look like the following:
