Of course to get reliable magnetic anisotropy you should drastically increase 
the number of Kpoints with respect to the example..

Hello Cyrille and Paolo,

Thanks for the quick response. I was interested really about the inner 
workings, which should be described in the paper that Cyrille mentioned. I will 
take a look at it. The actual execution of the calculation should be quite 
straightforward, from what I saw yesterday in the examples folder.

Once again, thanks to both of you for the response. If I run into any problems 
I'll ask, but hopefully all will be fine.

Best,

Marcos

Hi Marcos

The implementation of the Force Theorem has been described in the following 
paper:
https://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.90.205409

The procedure is the following:
first perform a scf calculation with scalar relativistic pseudo
then perform  nscf calculation with fully relativistic pseudo (option 
lforcet=.true., nosym=.true') starting from previous scf charge  
(startingpot='file') with various spin orientations (theta=0,90 for example)
Finally perform a projwfc calculation with  lforcet=.true. and the value of the 
Fermi level from the nscf calculation (same ef_0 for all calculations).

Then you get a file with the energy decomposed over the various atoms and 
orbitals of the system..
The anisotropy is obtained by difference between the different spin 
orientations.

hope it helps..

Cyrille

Hi all,

Browsing QE 6.3's documentation, I saw that MAE can be calculated as a 
post-processing step to a pw.x scf calculation. What is the exact procedure 
followed? I.e., in the post-processing calculation is the spin density rotated, 
and then SOC is included? Is there any reference that details the procedure 
used when the MFT is applied in Espresso?

Best regards,

Marcos
