Dear Stefaan Sir,<div><br></div><div> Thank you for your reply. But is your reply indicating that.......</div><div><br></div><div>the excited states <b>may be</b> those states having higher energy....but it is <b>not sure</b> that whether the states having higher energy will be the excited states of the system??......Please assure me that this is the meaning of your reply...........but if this is the meaning then another question is that may it be happened that some converged solutions of the system actually never be found in reality??...if this is true then the question is why?..........Please forgive me to ask so many questions at a time.</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).....??<br>

Yes. But the important word is: "which CAN be found". This is not "WILL be found".<br><font color="#888888">
