Using the generalized gradient approximation we have calculated the magnetic properties of a seven layer V(001) film at the experimental lattice constant with and without a -6.25% surface relaxation. With the relaxed film we found a magnetization of 1.452μB for the surface atom and antiparallel magnetizations of -0.698μB, -0.352μB, and -0.149μB on the subsurface atoms. This contrasts with a local spin-density approximation calculation which found no surface magnetization.
