the unit of magnetic moment

Post by qingping » Fri Sep 04, 2015 12:41 am

Dear Abinit community,
I am calculating some FM and AF structure, so I need get magnetic moment. a output result is

Integrated total density in atomic spheres:
-------------------------------------------
Atom Sphere radius Integrated_up_density Integrated_dn_density Total(up+dn) Diff(up-dn)
1 1.69355 6.46346130 5.61968292 12.08314422 0.84377838
2 1.21105 1.85384739 1.81874660 3.67259399 0.03510079
Note: Diff(up-dn) can be considered as a rough approximation of a local magnetic moment.

Now I need to know its unit. If they are Bohr magnetons, it is big different from other people's calculation. Could you tell me why? Thank you.
