Dear QE users and developers, I am currently working on a heterostructure system composed of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) and a two-dimensional material, such as MoS₂. I would like to calculate several electronic and optical properties, including the band gap, PDOS, band alignment, planar-averaged electrostatic potential, and optical properties. Since hematite is an antiferromagnetic transition-metal oxide, I am wondering whether I should perform spin-polarized calculations for this system. In other words, should I include magnetic moments on the Fe atoms when calculating these properties? Any suggestions or references to relevant examples would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Yushi Cheng
