Description: Antiferromagnetic (AFM) configuration for NiO in the GGA+Ueff (Dudarev's) approach ; PBE functional

In the Dudarev method, a Hubbard effective parameter Ueff = U - J is used. Concretely, the J value is considered equal to 0, and Ueff = U. For more details read the page on the LDAUTYPE-tag .


Exercise : Study the change of the magnetic moment of Ni atoms and the DOS by varying the Ueff value.
