You have to simulate a N2 molecule.

Choose a box of about 205 bohr and put 2 N atoms at +/-z, such that 
their distance is about the experimental distance.

Use identical RMT and RKMAX values when you simulate   N2, C5N and graphite.

However the magnetic moment is coming the same (~0.6 muB) for both the cases. I am attaching the optimized struct file herewith this mail.
