I do not think that there is a unique definition of interstitial magnetic moments for each atom -- in APW+lo methods the interstitial states extend over the whole cell.
The best I can think of is to use the Bader charge, i.e. use "x aim" and "x aim -dn", take the difference (to spin resolve) then compare to the :MM for the relevant atom. (N.B., "x aim -up" does not look right.) WRT your other questions, the sign of the spin without -so or a magnetic field is not well defined, you can multiply all by -1 and nothing in the density/energy will change. The interstitial components do not have to have the same sign, and often do not. Sometimes one spin state is more delocalized, hence more in the interstitial. -- Professor Laurence Marks Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Northwestern University www.numis.northwestern.edu "Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought" Albert Szent-Györgyi On Thu, Jun 23, 2022, 9:26 AM shahrbano rahimi <shahrbanorahim...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear WIEN developers and users: > > Please let me know: > > How I can find the interstitial magnetic moment (MMINT) per atom in a > ferromagnetic system with two kinds of magnetic atoms?
