Question on magnetic moment

#1 Post by Jiaye Li » Wed Jun 11, 2008 5:18 pm

Hi

I am doing a calculation on a slab with spin. I wonder how to read the magnetic moment of a specific layer and the magnetic moment of the adsorbent?

Thanks in advance!

the initial magentic moments have to be given for each atom in INCAR, in the same order as they appear in POSCAR. non-magnetic atoms have to be given a moment 0 explicitely. If you want to obtain the local moments written in OUTCAR please set LORBIT =11
