Magnetic moments are zero in OSZICAR

[vahid_askarpour]

Dear VASP community,

I am running constrained magnetization by slowly increasing LAMBDA from 0.5 to 100 or more. For each run, I use the CHGCAR of the previous run (with lower LAMBDA). However, the moments are zero in the OSZICAR and E_p does not decrease. I have attached the files. Does anyone know what might be the problem?

Thank you,
Vahid

I just realized that for constrained magnetization, RWIGS are not read from the POTCAR and need to be explicitly stated in INCAR. That is why in the OUTCAR, RWIGS=-1.

Now I do have nonzero moments in the OSZICAR.

Cheers,
Vahid
