MAGMOM VASP
23 Sep 2024 —

This tutorial shows how to perform global search for optimal magnetic moments on VASP. In VASP there are two variables that control the magnetic moments .... I have been working with a material in which Cu has an unpaired electron due to which the material can exist in various magnetic configurations..

The MAGMOM tag needs one entry assigned per atom. If you don't think there will be any magnetic moment on certain atoms you can assign them to zero.. (not INCAR because NBANDS can be changed by vasp run) !! (case 2) SOC calc without initial orbitals ! ICHARG = 2 ! set ICHARG=2 to use MAGMOM ! MAGMOM = 15*0.0 ....

I am fairly new to calculations using spin considerations. Currently, I am facing a convergence problem on the adsorption of a single cerium ....
