<p><font face="Times New Roman">Perhaps the -ec </font>0.001 and
-cc 0.001 are too large of values.</p>
<p>As I recall, to be well-converged, it is usually best to use
about the default values seen in the post [1] or WIEN2k 17.1
usersguide [2] as:</p>
-cc 0.0001<br>
-ec 0.0001
<p>It sounded like about the default value for -ec was good unless
something like -ec 0.00001 was desired to reduce numerical noise,
but anything smaller seemed useless [3,4].<br>
</p>
<p>For -cc, 0.00001 also may be the lowest limit [5] and quite
ambitious to try to use [6].<br>
</p>
<p>In section "4.5.4 Antiferromagnetic (AFM) calculations" on page
46 in the usersguide [2], there is the statement:</p>
<p>"If nothing changes (E-tot and other properties), then you are
ok, otherwise make sure the scf calculation is well converged (-cc
0.0001 or better)."<br>
</p>
<p>If I read from the statement correctly, a well converged scf
calculation typically uses -cc with a value of 0.0001 or smaller.
Though, there is a realistic limit as mentioned above on how small
it could be set.</p>
<p>In [7], it sounded important that the -cc value was low for the
:MMIn values.</p>
<p>So, maybe the calculation can still converge further such that
possibly the "MMI for V1" and "MMI for V2" will both become zero
when they reach better convergence.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi All
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have used the PBE+EECC calculation for 3 configurations:
nm, fm and afm I and I found that the afm I is the most
stable.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The energy criterion and charge are 0.001 Ry and 0.001 e
respectively.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I don't worry about if the material is really
antiferromagnetic or paramagnetic because of:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1- I found only one experimental study that they found the
compound to be pauli magnetic and one theoritical study which
they found the compound to be non magnetic and these two
studies are not sufficient to judge the compound to be in a
such state. The theoritical study used the GGA method which is
not good for correlated systems.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2- In the anfiferromagnetic state afm I in the NiAs
structure for vanadium sulphide I found the following results:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>MMI for V1: 0.05 MB</div>
<div>MMI for V2 :- 0.05 MB</div>
<div>MMI for S: 0 MB</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My questions are now:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>what's the definition of non magnetic compound ?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think we can talk about non magnetic calculation and not
about non magnetic compounds.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As Blaha said we can't silulate the paramagnetic state or
at at least it's difficult to do it because we can't orientate
the spins randomly ang maintain the total magnetic moment
equals to zero.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Because of the Hind's prediction and because the impaired
number of the V2+ ion to equal 3 I believe the atomic magnetic
moment to be different from zero.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards</div>
