Abstract

We have implemented the fully relativistic and spin-polarized extension of the O(N) real space locally self-consistent multiple scattering formalism [1]. Here we present preliminary results for the spin and orbital magnetic moments and magneto-crystalline anisotropy in iron metal. The spin and orbital moments are in good agreement with the results of conventional electronic structure methods. In addition we present preliminary results for the magnetocrystalline anisotropy obtained in the frozen potential approximation.
