[Wien] how to find Stoner parameter using wien2k

2011-07-07 Thread Shamik Chakrabarti
Dear wien2k users,

According to the Stoner band theory of magnetism, one can able to predict
the magnetic ground state of the material as it is paramagnetic or
ferromagnetic using product of the non magnetic density of states around the
Fermi level (N(E)) and the Stoner parameter (I). As given in some of the
literature, the Stoner parameter  can be described as the exchange integral
and it could be found using LSDA and LMTO methods. see the fallowing
literature...

1. http://prb.aps.org/pdf/PRB/v16/i1/p255_1

2. http://jap.aip.org/resource/1/japiau/v89/i11/p6889_s1

We are doing our calculations in Wein2K package using the GGA approximation
and we want to know how the stoner parameter could be found according to the
my calculations. As non magnetic calculations gives the total density of
states at around the Fermi level, it is very helpful for us to predict the
material is magnetic or not using the Stoner parameter. therefore, please
suggest us how to find the Stoner parameter using wein2k package.

[Wien] how to find Stoner parameter using wien2k

2011-07-07 Thread David Tompsett
Hi Shamik,

Sayed's advice is good. There are also some procedures based on Fixed spin
moment calculations. You will have to think carefully about whether your
system is metallic or locaised type. The links in the appendix to this paper
should help:

Ylvisaker and Pickett, PHYSICAL REVIEW B 79, 035103 2009

Best,
David.

 I have no experience on calculation of stoner parameter and interesting to
 learn it. However, by doing a simple spin polarized calculations with
 nonzero and parallel initial moments on your system, you may easily find
 whether your system prefers ferromagnetism or not. The initial magnetic
 moments are controlled in case.inst file.
