Dear Xavier, It means it is not defined with respect to the primitive lattice vectors. The lattice parameters given in case.struct file are sometimes for the conventional unit cell.
I appreciate if you can confirm.

It will be along the directions defined in your case.struct file. In other words, if you put 0 0 1, it will be along the c-axis of your case.struct file. Best Regards Xavier Le 09/10/2016 à 12:52, Abderrahmane Reggad a écrit : Dear Wien2k users I want to introduce the spin-orbit coupling in my calculation for a hexagonal structure. Would you inform me which notation should we use to introduce the spin direction : that of 3 indicesor that of 4 indices. NB: The spin direction for my case is the z direction Best regards -- Mr: A.Reggad Laboratoire de Génie Physique Université Ibn Khaldoun - Tiaret Algerie _______________________________________________ Wien mailing list Wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at<mailto:Wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at>http://zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/wien SEARCH the MAILING-LIST at: http://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/index.html
