NEB calculations with spin

[wkq]

Dear all,
When I calculate a magnetic system with no spin, It will converge quickly. But when I open ISPIN=2 and MAGMOM=3*3 8*0, it will not converge fast. What parameters and details should I pay attention to when calculating the neb of magnetic systems？

Can you post your NEB directory as a zip file with all the files for us to have a look, Otherwise we don't know if its an optimizer problem or an NEB problem, some tags are missing. Add the OUTCARS of the initial and final images to their NEB directories as well.

Check your initial guess for the NEB path is reasonable. It's often helpful to perform a non-spin-polarized NEB calculation first to obtain a good initial path and then switch to a spin-polarized calculation.
