And here an interesting issue arises: when
the smearing with electronic temperature of 1 K or 50 K is used, the
system is paramagnetic. However when the smearing with electronic
temperature of 300 K is used, the system becomes diamagnetic.
May it be an artifact caused by smearing (so the system is truly
paramagnetic at the room temperature) or it may be an evidence that the
quenching of the magnetic moment occurs and the system is diamagnetic
at the room temperature?</font></pre><pre style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></pre><pre style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="arial, sans-serif">With best regards,</font></pre><pre style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="arial, sans-serif">MP</font></pre><pre style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></pre><pre><pre style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><font size="2" face="arial, sans-serif">P.S.
