I do not know about this particular system. However, one cannot always force any arbitrary magnetic configuration, in particular not for metallic systems. While I cannot say if your result is correct, in principle it could be ok. On interfaces quite different magnetic order may occur than in the bulk. (You did not say how the spin of Co is set up (and comes out).
You may retry, but start out with atomic moments which are closer to the final bulk moments (eg. don't start Ni with 2 mB, but only 1) or introduce also some small s-moment. qianlijie84 schrieb: > > Dear Peter Blaha, > I'm sorry to post my email to your private I do some calcultions > for the Co4/Cu4/Ni4 superlattices.
