Dear Wien users,

I am trying to study the Co2MnO4 system using Wien2k. It has a inverse
spinel structure with ionic configuration [Co2+]8a[Co3+ Mn3+]16d[O4]32e,
where 8a, 16d and 32e are the Wyckoff positions and 8a denotes the
tetrahedral site and 16d denotes the octahedral site. I am unable to define
the required atomic positions.

I have used the following case.struct file:

On execution of x sgroup, the following error message occurs:

Error: duplicated atoms found Atom #3 and #9 coincide.



In another structure file, I have used the following parameters:

The other parameters are:

Rmt*Kmax=7, lmax=10, Gmax=12

k points=147

Exchange Correlation Potential- LSDA

Energy to separate core and valance state=-6.0



Then after executing spin polarized calculation, I got the following
information about the magnetic moment in case.scf file:

       MAGNETIC MOMENTS OF MIXED CHARGE DENSITY

:MMINT: MAGNETIC MOMENT IN INTERSTITIAL =    1.02591

:MMI001: MAGNETIC MOMENT IN SPHERE   1    =    0.28125

:MMI002: MAGNETIC MOMENT IN SPHERE   2    =    3.80049

:MMI003: MAGNETIC MOMENT IN SPHERE   3    =    0.03426

:MMTOT: TOTAL MAGNETIC MOMENT IN CELL   =   10.02597



which seems to be inconsistent.

Please tell me the mistake and suggest accordingly.

With kind regards,

Alpa Dashora
