Abstract
Structural and magnetic properties of ferromagnetic iron are computed using a plane-wave basis set and optimized pseudopotentials to study t he effectiveness of these methods for magnetic systems. Although the p seudowave functions deviate significantly from the all-electron wave f unctions, the calculated properties are in excellent agreement with th e results from all-electron and localized-orbital pseudopotential calc ulations. This study shows that these pseudopotentials yield accurate results for magnetic systems.
