Make any magnetic calculation with a finite spin moment and spin-orbit in any DFT approximation.

It will give you a non-zero orbital moment.

Maybe you have made an error in some input file.

Dear Peter
You should probably repeat this.
what's your purpose?
  I must repeat which calculations? scf or lapwdm?

 > I can hardly believe that changing alpha to 0.1 makes the orbital

why do you have this believe?
  base on my results? or other things?
thanks

    I can hardly believe that changing alpha to 0.1 makes the orbital
    moment exactly zero. Even plain GGA should give you some moment (at
    least as some spin-moment is still present)....



    Dear Peter
    thanks for your reply
     > Maybe you forgot to add   -so  for the second calculation ?
    no I didn't forget -so.
    I check the log file. this file  shows that there is -so switch in
    SCF calculations (I putted a section of this file in my first email).
    I  run the lapwdm program similar to log that is:
    x lapwdm -up -p -so -c
    program is done with any error.(i check it again)
    but when I check the case.scfdmup see that orb contribution is zero
    [yazdani@cm6 case]$ cat case.scfdmup
      Spin-polarized + s-o calculation, M||  1.000  1.000  1.000
       Calculation of <X>, X=c*Xr(r)*Xls(l,s)
       Xr(r)    =           I
       Xls(l,s) = L(dzeta)
       c=  1.00000
       atom   L        up          dn         total
    :XOP001  3     0.00000     0.00000     0.00000     0.00000
    :XOP002  3     0.00000     0.00000     0.00000     0.00000
    [yazdani@cm6case]$
    while when I grep the ORB001 in the scf file see that orbital
    magnetic moment isn't zero.
    I also follow similar process for the alpha=0.2 and see non zero orb
    contribution in the case.scfdmup.
    As I said in the second email I run this program for the Ni as
    sample and drive non zero orb contribution.
    I see this problem for my case with B3Pw91 with alpha=0.1 functional.
