Hello QE users,I am trying to understand how to appropriately set the |starting_magnetization |value and how to interpret the output related to magnetization in the pw.x. I tested for a simple system (BCC Fe) with various |starting_magnetization |and observed that it doesn't matter. The |total energy, total magnetization, and absolute magnetization| values remain the same. So, does this mean any |starting_magnetization |value can be used?
Secondly, when I observe the "|Magnetic moment per site (integrated on atomic sphere of radius R)|" values, and sum up all the magnetic moments, it doesn't match with the |total magnetization| or |absolute magnetization| which is reported at the end |(in Bohr mag/cell)|. The sum of magnetic moment per site is always less than the sum of total magnetization. What could be the reason for this? Is this because magnetic moment per site is integrated on atomic sphere of radius R where R < 1?
