Dear Paresh You should perform fixed spin moment (FSM) calculations for various values of the total magnetization and then plot the E(M) curve. If your system present two magnetic solutions it should reflect on the E(M) curve which will present two local minima...
You can also try to do standard scf calculation with various starting magnetization.. Probably small starting magnetizations will converge towards the LS state while for larger starting magnetization your scf iteration will end up in the HS state. cyrille ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cyrille Barreteau CEA Saclay, IRAMIS, SPCSI, Bat. 462 91191 Gif sur Yvette Cedex, FRANCE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ phone: +33 (0)1 69 08 29 51 / +33 (0)6 47 53 66 52 fax : +33 (0)1 69 08 84 46 email: cyrille.barreteau at cea.fr <mailto:cyrille.barreteau at cea.fr> Web: http://iramis.cea.fr/Pisp/cyrille.barreteau/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________________________ De : pw_forum-bounces at pwscf.org [pw_forum-bounces at pwscf.org] de la part de paresh rout [paresh.rout88 at gmail.com] Date d'envoi : dimanche 1 d?cembre 2013 08:12 ? : PWSCF Forum Objet : Re: [Pw_forum] RE : High spin & Low spin Magnetic calculation set up Dear Cyrille, Thanks for the reply.I have some confusion .Actually my system is Ferrimagnetic in nature if I will fix the spin moment by the total magnetization then the starting magnetization will be ignored in both the atomic case (up and down spin).So here how can I specify the FiMHS state and FiMLS state in the system. Would you please give me some Idea how to set up FiMHS and FiMLS state with total magnetization.

A good way to put in evidence the two Low and High spin configurations is to perform fix spin moment calculations. If two solutions really exist the curve E(M) should present two local minima. The minimum-minimorum corresponds to the most stable solution. However this E(M) curve is usually very sensitive to external parameters..
