INCAR

general:
  SYSTEM = clean (100) Ni surface
  ENMAX = 270
  ISMEAR =   -5
  ALGO = Normal 
    
spin:
  ISPIN = 2
  MAGMOM = 5*1   
    
  LORBIT = 11  # lm and site decomposed DOS inside PAW spheres

Using the tetrahedron method (with Blöchl corrections).
LM and site decomposed DOS.
N.B.: We want to use the optimized structure of Ni 100 surface relaxation. Normally this would mean copying the CONTCAR file of Ni 100 surface relaxation to the POSCAR file in the directory where you want to run Ni 100 surface DOS.

In this case, however, that has already been taken care of and the POSCAR file from the downloadable tar file is the correct one.

Calculation

At the end of the OUCAR file the information on the local charge and magnetization is given.

Using LORBIT=1 and changing RWIGS the total number of electrons within the spheres coud be adapted (nickel pseudo-potential has a valence of 10).

Enhancement of the magnetic moment at the surface.

Magnetic moment int the center "bulk like".

The surface and bulk projected-DOS plotted for each spin component spearately should show a band narrowing and larger exchange splitting at the surface:

The DOS of can be plotted using p4vasp:
