Dear Wien2k users: I have Ce-based full-Heusler compound, I predicted FM and non-Half-mettalic characters, using GGA and GGA+U.But I saw ;since Ce element has d and f orbitals, it's necessary to do SOC calculations. for its optimization: I do:1- Initialization (spin-polarized)2- I modified optimize.job file : before runsp_lapw , I added initso_lapw.3- when ./optimize.job running , I modified (.inso)files for each volume.I found E min(SOC)< E min(withoutSOC).My questions are:Do you think should I do SOC calculations?if Yes.Is this the right way? Thanks in advance.
