• Spin-polarized calculation with initial magnetic moment of 1 µB.
• Interpolation scheme of Vosko, Wilk and Nusair is used (see VOSKOWN=1).
• lm-decomposed DOSCAR is created.
• Tetrahedron method with Blöchl's corrections used for k-mesh integration.

Calculation

• The output for the magnetic moments in the OSZICAR should look like the following:
