Hello,
I'm trying to obtain the ground state of monolayer NiI2 without electric field, and I consistently obtain spin textures different than the spiral state. It's incoherent because DFT predicts that the ground state is spin spiral and by other Monte-Carlo simulations we obtain spin spiral as well. This is in order to clear out a debate about ground state of NiI2 because some papers say it's spin spiral, others skyrmion lattice etc. The picture (spins2) looks like a random structure, it doesn't even look like more rare phases lire stripes domain wall or labyrinthine phases.
I've used a customized ucf file to model a hexagonal lattice, and I've used all the suitable parameters. I would like to have more informations about time-series program too. What I know is that there is an equilibration time followed by integration, and that it is made for equilibrium calculations.
I give all files attached
