Dear Martin,
this concerns your remark:
"With two magnetic species, say, Mn and Cu, you would wind up with
different size of the moment on Mn and Cu. I know of no case where
exact
compensation into an AFM structure occures by accident in such a
situation."
You may have the situation of a completely compensated ferrimagnet
exampels are:
CrMnSb (or VFeSb) in the cubic C1b structure
H. van Leuken and R. A. de Groot, Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 1171 (1995)
or more complicated
Mn1.5FeV0.5Al
Rolf Stinshoff et al; Phys. Rev. B 95, 060410(R) (2017)
However, it is by purpose rather than by accident.
This was already found by Neel in his work on antiferromagnets
(probably it is mentioned in the Nobel lecture)
Ciao
Gerhard

Betreff: Re: [Wien] AFM type II
No one can give you an honest answer without knowing the structure you
put these elements in. Zr, S, Se are almost certainely non-magnetic,
but
there are quite a few structures with magnetic moments on Cr, Cu, and
of
course on Mn.
To make terminology more complicated, remember that AFM means fully
compensated magnetic moments. The net magnetization of a unit cell of
some AFM structure is zero. This does not happen by coincidence, it is
because by symmetry all moments have the same size, and there are as
many of them pointing in one direction as there are pointing in exactly
the opposite direction.
So, IF your compound REALLY is AFM by experiment (NO net
magnetization),
you almost certainely have only one magnetic species in there (probably
Mn). With two magnetic species, say, Mn and Cu, you would wind up with
different size of the moment on Mn and Cu. I know of no case where
exact
compensation into an AFM structure occures by accident in such a
situation. You always get something with net moment - and these are
called ferrimagnetic structures. And since we are at it: there are
canted and helical strucutures where the moments are not collinear (not
within the scope of Wien2k), there are spin density waves, ...
Scanning this thread my advice would be to study a (good) book on solid
state physics, with special attention payed to its chapter discussing
magnetic order. If it doesn't have such a chapter its not a good book -
at least not for you. Do NOT use wikipedia or this mailing list and its
archive as a substitute for such a reading. It will not work.

As previously mentioned [1], a short literature survey showed that
AFM type II and III are terms used for _fcc_ and _bcc_ lattices.
Since spacegroup 156 is not one of those, it might be inappropriate to
use those terms for spacegroup 156 having a _primitive_ lattice [2] of
the hexagonal crystal family. If you do a more extensive literature
survey yourself and find a paper (article, book, etc.) that defines
the AFM magnetic orders for spacegroup 156, then reference and use it
for what the AFM order is. If there is not any notations and terms
for AFM magnetic orders for spacegroup 156, you might have to make
your own figure or write in your own words what the definition is
should any AFM magnetic orders exist for it.
Keep in mind that as mentioned before in the mailing list archive, the
initial configuration can be set in case.inst with "instgen_lapw -ask"
[3].
Though, you need to check the final magnetic order that comes out of
the scf [4], because the configuration set in case.inst with
instgen_lapw is just the initial one that could change [5,6].
It is also possible to try to force a magnetic order using dmatup/dn
matrices but the final magnetic order is still what comes out of the
scf and could be different [6-11].
Therefore, it likely not beneficial to name the AFM order before
starting a calculation such that you would likely want to identify the
name of the magnetic order after having finished the converged
calculation.
