How to set parameters for a spin-polarized calculation FJ

This page gives hints on how to set parameters for a spin-polarized calculation with the ABINIT package.

Introduction

The electronic system may be computed in the spin-unpolarized or spin- polarized case, with the possibility to impose occupation numbers of majority and minority spins, and the spins of the starting configuration. A specific option for efficient treatment of anti-ferromagnetism (Shubnikov groups) is available. The treatment of non-collinear magnetism is available (some details of the implementation can de found pdf:noncol. The total magnetic moment of the unit cell can be constrained. The local magnetization can also be constrained.
