(1) I read the step by step DFT theory written by S. Cottenier, and it said EFG is a very sensitive quantity, and *if this one converge, other quantities will usually converge,too.* My question is: *Is this usually true during the convergence check of RKM or kmesh, espeically for

Probably the magnetism got lost during your vasp calculation. Is it possible to do fixed-spin-moment calculations in vasp? If so, do the vasp calculation with a fixed moment of 2.5 mu_B, and use the result of the latter calculation as starting point of a regular vasp scf-cycle. Another way to

When the RMT is set to be smaller and keep the value of RMT*KMAX the same, there will be more plane waves in Wien. On the other hand, VASP is package using a plan wave basis, so I think the results of the two package will be almost the same when the RMT set to be smaller. Good attempt,

My question is regarding the spin structure for a SDW calculation. As far my knowledge, the unit cell need to be extended in a particular direction, equivalent or greater than the wave vector, i.e. in case of Cr, the unit cell length has to be 50 A, which is the magnitude of the wave vector.
