[交流] 【求助成功】VASP中，如何固定磁矩做结构优化 已有6人参与

NUPDOWN 设置为一个为非0而且非-1的数，就是相当是将在自洽迭代循环的计算过程加了一个限制，即限制自旋向上和自旋向下的电子数之差为一个固定的值，对应的就是给体系设置一个固定的总磁矩。具体在程序里面实现起 ...

6.35   NUPDOWN
NUPDOWN = difference between number of electrons in up and down spin component
Allows calculations for a specific spin multiplet, i.e. the the difference of the number of electrons in the up and down spin component will be kept fixed to the specified value. There is a word of caution required: If NUPDOWN is set in the INCAR file the initial moment for the charge density should be the same. Otherwise convergence can slow down. When starting from atomic charge density (ICHARG=2), VASP will try to do this automatically by setting MAGMOM to NUPDOWN/NIONS. The user can of course overwrite this default by specifying a different MAGMOM (which should still result in the correct total moment). If one starts from the wavefunctions, the initial moment will be always correct, because VASP will “push” the required number of electrons from the down to the up component. If starting from a chargedensity supplied in the CHGCAR file (ICHARG=1), the initial moment is usually incorrect!
If no value is set (or NUPDOWN=-1) a full relaxation will be performed. This is also the default.
