magnetization (x) is not written

#1 Post by zsoltrak » Wed Jul 25, 2012 9:24 pm

Dear VASP users,

I am calculating the properties of several uranium-containing materials. My problem is that all the magnetization (x) values at the end of the OUTCAR file are zero - and this doesn't seem right to me:

please first of all check whether the starting guess for the magnetic moments was processed correctly in the first few electronic steps by grepping OUTCAR:
grep 'number of electron' OUTCAR | grep magnetization
