[Wien] Position of Atoms in AFM calculation.

[Fecher, Gerhard]

No. its wrong
now you have Dy2PdBi instead of DyPdBi

you need to make a suitable supercell, or use a P instead of a F cell and distinguish the Dy atoms in a suitable way such that you can set spins of opposite direction
you also will need LDA+U, otherwise the Nd 4f states will appear at the Fermi energy 

A description of different types of AFM order in Heusler compounds are given in the Landolt Börnstein (I don't remember the issue)

Betreff: [Wien] Position of Atoms in AFM calculation.

Dear wien 2k users
 I am working on the compound DyPdBi. this compound is anti ferromagnetic upto 3.5K(experimental report). crystal structure is MgAgAs  (216) .Dy (0,0,0),
Pd (0.75,0.75,0.75) and Bi(0.25,0.25,0.25)
I performed PBEsol calculation  for above mentioned positions without considering AFM.  I plotted band and DOS.
 Now i want to do AFM calculation again. I followed the steps given ,before trying with new compound i did for Cr, NiO.
 In my structure file   for AFM calculation the position of each compound is as follows
Dy 1 (000) and Dy2 (0.5,0.5,0.5 )
Pd(0.25,0.25,0.25) Bi (0.75,0.75,0.75) . Am i correct . i am not sure of the positions.
some one please confirm or correct me.
Thanks in advance.
