Oggetto: [QE-users] Why I can not reproduce ferromagnetic fcc Ni in QE 7.1

Dear all,

I try to perform vc-relax calculations for simple fcc Ni structure, but qe gave 
a nonmagnetic state in the relaxed outcome, with nearly zero magnetic moments 
for all atoms. Is it a well-known problem or simply incorrect input of my 
calculations?

     Magnetic moment per site  (integrated on atomic sphere of radius R)
     atom   1 (R=0.248)  charge= 15.9059  magn=  0.0003
     atom   2 (R=0.248)  charge= 15.9059  magn=  0.0003
     atom   3 (R=0.248)  charge= 15.9059  magn=  0.0003
     atom   4 (R=0.248)  charge= 15.9057  magn= -0.0012

Can anyone tell me how to get a ferromagnetic structure for fcc Ni in QE 7.1?
