Regarding your question 1) below, yes, it is necessary to add the -up and -dn to the "x w2w -so" command as the Wien2Wannier 2.0 User’s Guide says on page 5: "Note: it does not make sense to run x w2w -so without either -up or -dn;" Regarding your question 2) below, in the thread of posts for

A piece of paper will be useful to discuss this point ;) To my point of you, the picture is correct: Fe moment point inward and outward. However, I think that for a given direction (c direction) the 001 and 00-1 orientation will lead to inward and outward respectively, which will give the

Hello Xavier, You touch some of the points I have been pondering, indeed. For bulk bcc-Fe, there would be no problem. Having spin-orbit along 001 or along 00-1 must lead to the same result. In my naive picture, this is equivalent to having the Fe-moment pointing along 001 or along 00-1, and

To be honest I also feel that something is missing in my last arguments. What is the electronic configuration of Fe at the surface? The orbital occupancy could play a role in the understanding of the present observation. Le 02/01/2018 à 15:37, Xavier Rocquefelte a écrit : Dear Stefaan As

Dear Stefaan As always it is very nice to read your posts :) I will only react on your "Thought 3". What will happen if you do the same calculation along 00-1? To my point of view, you will obtain the same result. Indeed, the magnetic anisotropy (MAE) of bulk-Fe must be symmetric. Here you

Dear wien2k mailing list, I know that the Berry phase approach is the recommended way nowadays for applying an external electric field in wien2k. However, for a quick test I resorted to the old zigzag potential that is described in the usersguide, sec. 7.1. It works, but I have some questions
