[Wien] Beween non spin polarized and spin polarized calculations

[Xavier Rocquefelte]

I recommend you the following article:

https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.047201

Bulk gold is diamagnetic and it exhibits a tiny Pauli and Orbital 
paramagnetic state.

Pauli paramagnetism is due to the non-zero density at the Fermi level 
(metal) and the orbital paramagnetism to the presence of unpaired electrons.

Best regards

Xavier
