[Wien] PHONON calculations with spin-orbit coupling

2009-07-14 Thread Atta-fynn, Raymond
Dear WIEN2k users and authors, As it stands, the Hellmann-Feynman forces cannot be computed when spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is present. I want to compute the phonon dispersion relations for an fcc cell using PHONON but I want to use SOC forces so I intend to compute the forces on the atoms

I think the first criteria is that dx should not be so small that the resulting dE become comparable or smaller than energy accuracy of your system. Or other way around, the energy accuracy of your calculation should be considerably larger than dE, it means that if you reduce dx, then accuracy
