Dear Wien-users,

  Now I calculate FePt ternaly ordered alloy on spin-polarization
  with spin-obit interaction and orbital polarization potential Vop.
  I want to calculate orbital moment accurately as possible as I can.
  I calculate orbital moment of FePt on spin-polarization
  with spin-orbit interaction and orbital polarization.
  Orbital polarization potential Vop is calculated by ab-initio.
  Outcome is as follows.

  Fe   0.298
  Pt   0.054

  Orbital  moment  of FePt in other paper(Physical Review B, 63, 144409) is
  as follows.

  Fe   0.110
  Pt   0.048

  I  think  orbital moment of FePt (especially Fe) in my calculation is too
  large.
  I think because coefficient of Vop is too large.
  If I use half value of coefficient of Vop which calculated by ab-initio,
  outcome of orbital moment is as follows.

  Fe  0.113
  Pt  0.048

  So I can get almost same value of this paper.
  I think calculation of Vop by ab-initio in WIEN2k is too large.
  So I think I can not calculate orbital moment with orbital polarization
  by ab-initio in WIEN2k.
  Is it Ok?
  Best regards.



  Structure of FePt is as follows.FePt is metal.

  Fe  (0.0  0.0  0.0)
  Pt  (0.5  0.5  0.5)
