Your struct file allows only for FM structure. An AFM cell must be enlarged. Anyway, using your struct file with U=0.3 Ry I get a gap of 0.5 eV. However, when relaxing the O position, the gap more or less vanishes. Convergence in the insulating state is ok (MMT=3.0), in the metallic cases it

Dear Sir, I am sending a PRB paper in which magnetic orderings of LiNiO2 has been given. The link of the paper is DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.78.144412. It is A-type antiferromagnet. Also, at cycle no.68, it first show the appearance of 0.005 for CC in LiNiO2 with regards, On Wed, 8 May

Smaller mixing factor is GIGO. LiNiO2 is a well studied material. Did you research the magnetic ordering found by others? ___ Professor Laurence Marks (Laurie) Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Northwestern University www.numis.northwestern.edu "Research is to see what everybody

With Ni we are getting a metal (actually 0.4 eV band gap should be achieved) while using Mn we are getting a semiconductor. I have used smaller mixing parameter ~ 0.08 and also TEMP with 0.0018 for the Ni based case. After 54 iterations it is not conserved yet ec cc fc and str_conv 1 0 1 1

Dear Wien2k users, With replacing Ni by Mn I can achieve convergence by using an unoptimized struct file & considering only GGA+U. Does it mean that Ni in LiNiO2 has some issues with convergence? i'm looking forward to listening from you. with regards, On Wed, 8 May

Dear Wien2k users & Prof. Marks, Following your advice, I have set up the magnetic order by creating FM ordering in the intralplane Ni atoms while AFM ordering between interplane Ni atoms. I have done the followings; 1. 2x1x1 of R3m (166) LiNiO2 cell 2. It produces 12 atom cell. After X sgroup
