Dear vasp users,
I'm trying to optimise a FeII SCO complex in the low-spin state (S = 0, d6, FeII), on a ferromagnetic Co(111) surface. The Co surface has a total of 147 Co atoms (ST = 147x3/2 = 441). However, the optimised geometry gives an S = 4 instead of S = 0 on the FeII metal centre. Could anyone please help me get the correct LS geometry of the FeII SCO complex on the ferromagnet Co(111) surface? I have attached the INCAR file and here is the POSCAR file.

Re: Optimisation of FeII ls SCO on ferromagnetic Co(111) surface
I moved this question from Bug reports to the 'From users to users' forum since this does not look like a case where there is a bug in the code.
Perhaps some users with experience in this type of calculations can help you with it.
Maybe I could help, but I am not sure if I understand your question.
Could you show me what you obtain in the output (for example OUTCAR file) and what you would expect/want to obtain?

Re: Optimisation of FeII ls SCO on ferromagnetic Co(111) surface
We are trying to optimize a Fe(II) complex on a ferromagnetic Co (111) surface where the Fe is in a low spin state. So we used magmom to specify the magnetic moment where we specified the last atom(iron) to be 0. but after any step of optimisation vasp is assigning spin density of 4 on the Fe centre despite we specifying it to be 0. magmom used is 147*3 30*0 44*0 2*0 12*0 1*0. here 147 is cobalt atom all having ferromagnetic state so all positive 3 and Fe in low spin so 0 in spin density.
I used DFT + U for Fe as U=3 J=0.9. but still no change. How can I force the Fe to be in Low spin state.
I have attached the OUTCAR file in here

Re: Optimisation of FeII ls SCO on ferromagnetic Co(111) surface
I think I understand your question better.
You want to keep the electronic occupations fixed during the ionic relaxation.
You can do that using the ISMEAR=-2 tag:
https://www.vasp.at/wiki/index.php/ISMEAR
Be careful to double-check that the occupations that you set initially are the ones that you desire.
You can do that by first running a simple SCF run (without ionic relaxation) and checking the occupations in the OUTCAR file.
If they are what you desire, you can restart your calculation from the WAVECAR setting ISMEAR=-2.
I would advise to triple-check with 2 ionic steps (NSW=2) if the occupations you get at the end of the run are still the ones you expect, and only then do the full ionic relaxation.
