The most basic thing you want to do is read the User Guide. Especially sections on SO and orbital potentials (in my Wien2k 12.1 version sec. 4.5.5, 5.2.17 on initso_lapw, sec. 7.2 on orb, sec. 7.4 on lapxwo, sec. 7.7 on lapwdm, the example fcc-Ni, sections 8.1, 8.2 on tetra and qtl to plot

[Wien] Choice of magnetization axis in the case with spin-orbit coupling

2014-07-29 Thread Zhu, Jianxin
Dear Peter and Wien2k users, For the spin-orbit case, when we run initso_lapw, we are prompted to choose the moment direction Please select the direction of the moment ( h k l ) I notice that the choices of e.g., (0 0 1) and (0 0 -1) give slight different values. In particular, when I

You must try different directions in order to find the magnetization easy axis. Such a direction is perhaps experimentally know in your case. Thus you can check by considering few crystallographic directions. Should I always use positive values for (h k l)? Or should I choose (0 0 1) when I

Dear Xavier, Thanks a lot for the suggestion. When we say such a direction is perhaps experimentally known and we impose a given direction in real-space for the magnetic moment moments when we specify the (h k l) direction, do the magnetic moment mean the total magnetic moment, which is the
