Hi, I am dealing with a large system (on vasp 5.4.4) having two lanthanide metals ions into it, however after the optimization and SCF calculations I am unable to see the f orbital column in the magnetization section of OUTCAR file, as shown below:

magnetization (x)

# of ion s p d tot

------------------------------------------

1 0.000 0.003 0.000 0.003

2 0.000 0.003 0.000 0.003

3 0.000 0.002 0.000 0.002

4 0.000 0.001 0.000 0.001

5 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000

6 0.000 0.003 0.000 0.003

........

and so on.

The two lanthanide ions have f-electrons whose contribution is totally missing from OUTCAR file resulting in almost half the value of magnetic moment too.

Is there any specific tag we need to introduce in INCAR to get the f contribution also, since that is what matters most.

Any suggestions would be great.
