Dear wien2k users,<div><br></div><div> I have a basic question regarding DFT. Say for some system we calculate antiferromagnetic, ferromagnetic and non spin polarized state and by comparing energy we find that the antiferromagnetic state is the ground state. Now as ferromagnetic and non spin polarized states are also two converged solutions of the system can we consider them as some excited states which can be found at higher temperature (other than 0K).....??...Any response will be of great help for our understanding. Thanks in advance.</div>
