Title: Spin-orbit coupling
Post by: dong0216 on January 17, 2019, 15:22

Dear all
           I have a question about Spin-orbit coupling. When i calculate the SOC, i am not sure how to set the initial state? Whether the initial spin state is necessarily related to SOC? 
          Thanks all.

This tutorial describes the basic workflow for an SOC calculation, including how to start from a collinear spin-polarized state: https://docs.quantumwise.com/tutorials/spin_orbit_bandstructures/spin_orbit_bandstructures.html
