Dear everyone, I'm doing a non-collinear magnetization calculation(non spin-orbit). I wanted to know the magnetic moment on each atom, thus I performed the Lowdin charge calculation with projwfc.x. The code gives the the results of "polarization", "spin up", "spin down", and "total charge". I want to ask what is the physical meaning of the "polarization" under this non-collinear condition? I noticed its value is somehow close to the absolute value of the magnetization of each atom along the z axis(which is printed out every iteration, I read it is calculated from the charge integration inside a given volume, please correct me if I'm wrong), is that what it means? The z axis component of the magnetic moment rather than the total magnetic moment? or something else?
Thank you for your precious time. -- Yi Wang Ph.D candidate at Nanjing University of Science and Technology _______________________________________________ Pw_forum mailing list [email protected] http://pwscf.org/mailman/listinfo/pw_forum
