I'm not completely sure either without looking into the code. But from what I remember, the vector (x,y,z) is converted into theta and phi angles (printed in some scf or outputso file) and this is what is actually used for rotation. Regards On 04/06/2018 01:54 PM, Leandro Salemi wrote:

Dear WIEN2K users and developers, I have a question regarding the magnetization direction in SOC calculations. For a general magnetization axis, the Sz component is defined to be along this axis. But then, along which direction are laying Sx and Sy ( I know that their mean value is zero but
