The numbers on the rightmost column are the integrated (scalar) magnetizations in spheres surrounding each given atom (can be set using RWIGS, I think). The units are Bohr magnetons. The bottom right number is the total magnetization of your cell, which you can then translate into human units.

Hello Mario,

the values in the appended picture from the OUTCAR already are the magnetic moments per atom in the unit cell, numbered according to the numbering of atoms in the POSCAR. The s,p,d columns are projections onto the s,p,d orbitals, and the total is the full magnetic moment on that atom, in atomic units, i.e. units of bohr magneton, so there is no need to normalize per volume, since the results are now per atom. 

From the file you sent it seems like all of your atoms have a magnetic moment of 0, except maybe for the last one, which has an extra part of a p-state electron, if this makes sense to you.

One important point is that you should make sure you are converged since the magnetic moments are a very sensitive observable. To achieve this you should attempt various initial educated guesses in the MAGMOM line in the INCAR, and make sure the results remain the same after relaxation. If not, the minimum energy structure has the correct magnetic moments. It is also important to delete/remove the WAVECAR file in between these attempts since if it present VASP will read the initial magnetization off of it without reading the MAGMOM lines.

Good luck,

Ofer

I have seen that there is significant difference between the total DOS of the system and PDOS of the system. The intensity of TDOS is found to be higher than the intensity of PDOS (after addition of projected density of states). Why?

Secondly, I have found that the magnetic moment in OSZICAR is not consistent with the value of magnetic moment given in the OUTCAR. The value of magnetic moment given in OSZICAR is always larger than that of OUTCAR. Why?

Which value of the magnetic moment should be considered for the analysis of the system, either from OSZICAR or from OUTCAR? 

Local magnetic moment are more appropriate words to describe the magnetic system or total magnetic moment is more comprehensive way to define the magnetic system?

the first is because the PDOS is a projection over atomic spheres, so some "interstitial" density is not counted. don't know about the second, will look into it after dinner ;)

Thank you for your comments. 

Looking for the answer of my other questions, please.

First of all, thank you all for your time and support. Muhammad Ali, I also encounter with those problems you mentioned but I was told by my advisors that the value of the OSZICAR is the total magnetic moment meanwhile the data observed in the OUTCAR are values of magnetization. I am currently still trying to figure out what is all about.

Hello everybody,

I used different guess for MM in MAGMON-tag files but not getting any local magnetization or magnetic moments neither in OSZICAR nor in OUTCAR? only getting the total magnetization in both files. What can be my mistake. need your suggestions.

Thanks

I have one Query about magnetization, after doing some kind of doping I want to observe the magnetization in the system (for spin polarised calculations) in VASP code. Should I define some initial magnetic moment for each atom (although it will take some default value).

Is there any way to guess how much magnetization should I get after performing the DFT calculation because I didn't get it in the literature.
