Dear Andrei Postnikov Thank you. Now I used the %block DM.InitSpin 1 0.000 %endblock DM.InitSpin. I got 0.00 moment. It means Spinpolarization calculations is not a Ferromagnetic calculation? but for Test purpose I also used Fe where I didnt use the %block DM.InitSpin and I just used Spinpolarization=T and at the end I got the magnetic moment, is it becasue that Fe is magnetic in nature. If I have 100 C-atom in the unit cell so I will have to specify 0.00 initial spin for every atom? becaue If I dont specify InitiSpin for each atom and only use Spinpolarization=T then again it gives large magnetic moment(4.0) Thank you Mic.

It may be counter-intuitive but physically plausible, and fully in accordance with the Siesta input logic. You declared spin-polarized calculation but did not specify a block DM.InitSpin In this case (see UsersManual on DM.InitSpin) DM.InitSpinAF takes control by default and sets maximal-spin ferromagnetic configuration of ALL ATOMS for the start. The remedy depends on what you want to calculate. Probably you just want to have a trial spin somewhere in your system (e.g., 3d atom or other defect). Then use the block DM.InitSpin to initialize exactly whatever you want; the other atoms (not included in the block) will be non-magnetic on start.
