[CP2K-user] [CP2K:18868] How to correctly set magnetization in CP2K

[Krack Matthias]

Hi Diego

For Fe(+3) d^5 spin-up try

&ALPHA
N    4  3
L    0  2
NEL -2 +4
&END ALPHA
&BETA
N    4  3
L    0  2
NEL -2 -6
&END BETA

Switch ALPHA and BETA for spin down.

Dear Krack,

thank you a lot for your comments. The &BS section seems to be really usefull but I am struggling to obtain the actual electronic configuration of my system (Y3Fe5O12). I am trying to model theese Fe3+ (d5) ions, where Fe1 will be spin up and Fe2 will be spin down using the attatched &BS section on the input.

&KIND Fe1
      ELEMENT Fe
      BASIS_SET SZV-MOLOPT-SR-GTH
      POTENTIAL GTH-PBE-q16
      &BS
       &ALPHA
       NEL -2 -1
       L    0  2
       N    4  3
      &END
      &BETA
       NEL -2 -4
       L    0  2
       N    4  3
      &END
      &END
    &END KIND
    &KIND Fe2
      ELEMENT Fe
      BASIS_SET SZV-MOLOPT-SR-GTH
      POTENTIAL GTH-PBE-q16
      &BS
       &ALPHA
       NEL -2 -4
       L    0  2
       N    4  3
      &END
      &BETA
       NEL -2 -1
       L    0  2
       N    4  3
      &END
      &END
    &END KIND

The electronic configuration of Fe is [Ar] 4s2 3d6 and  the one of Fe3+ ions is [Ar] 3d5, so I tried to extract both 4s electrons and 1 of 3d in each spin orientation, but in the output I see that there is something wrong:

Guess for atomic kind: Fe1

 Electronic structure
    Total number of core electrons                                         10.00
    Total number of valence electrons                                      11.50
    Total number of electrons                                              21.50
    Multiplicity                                                         triplet
    Alpha Electrons
    S   [  1.00  1.00] 1.00
    P   [  3.00] 3.00
    D      2.50
    Beta Electrons
    S   [  1.00  1.00] 1.00
    P   [  3.00] 3.00
    D      1.00

Guess for atomic kind: Fe2

 Electronic structure
    Total number of core electrons                                         10.00
    Total number of valence electrons                                      11.50
    Total number of electrons                                              21.50
    Multiplicity                                                         triplet
    Alpha Electrons
    S   [  1.00  1.00] 1.00
    P   [  3.00] 3.00
    D      1.00
    Beta Electrons
    S   [  1.00  1.00] 1.00
    P   [  3.00] 3.00
    D      2.50

How could I configure the &BS section to obtain an accurate description of my system?

Thanks in advanced.

Best,
Diego

Dear Diego

Both keywords can be used to define the initial atomic states and the total magnetization of the system in conjunction with the MULTIPLICITY keyword. The &BS section provides a more detailed (orbital resolved) control.

Dear CP2k users, I am interested on the study of Y3Fe5O12 and now I am trying to set the adequate magnetization for Fe atoms. The unit cell has 40 Fe atoms and the magnetic ground state experimentally observed is ferrimagnetic (24 Fe atoms spin up and 16 Fe atoms spin down).

Which is the proper way to specify the magnetization of the system? &MAGNETIZATION or &BS? Are they compatible? How would be the &BS specification for this case?

Thanks in advanced.

Regards,
Diego
