Description: Antiferromagnetic (AFM) configuration for NiO in the GGA+Ueff (Dudarev's) approach.

In the Dudarev method, a Hubbard effective parameter Ueff = U - J is used. In order to do that, the J value is considered equal to 0, and Ueff = U. More details are available in the LDAUTYPE page.


Exercise : Study the change of the magnetic moment of Ni atoms by varying the Ueff value. Compare the DOS by increasing the Ueff value.

To check the results obtained with this approach, they can be compared to those determined with a hybrid approach.
