Abstract
Local-spin-density-approximation-based calculations, performed using a general-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave method, are presented for bcc Co. The ground-state properties and magnetization energies are reported. It is found that the moment is strongly suppressed in constrained antiferromagnetic calculations, indicating that a local-moment picture is less appropriate for this material than for bcc iron.
