Dear Abdul, starting_magnetization is the initial ratio of the number of polarized electrons to the total number of valence electrons for the respective atomic species. Therefore, it ranges from –1.0 (all spins down) through 0.0 (paired spins) to +1.0 (all spins up). It is used to construct

Hello QE users, I am trying to understand how to appropriately set the |starting_magnetization |value and how to interpret the output related to magnetization in the pw.x. I tested for a simple system (BCC Fe) with various |starting_magnetization |and observed that it doesn't matter. The
