Hi Pablo, I assume you mean w2web when you talk about the "interface".
If you used w2web from the beginning through all steps correctly, then there should be the coommand x lapwso (-up) right after x lapw1 (-up , dn) when calculating the "Bandstructure" from "Tasks" this is usually also the work flow for other calculations with spin orbit interaction, if you need lapw1 then you need afterwards lapwso. x lapw2 -qtl -band is only needed if you wish to plot the band character I don't know about a command "run -so" !? Did you start the scf cycle from "run SCF" and marked the box with spinorbit ? Ciao Gerhard DEEP THOUGHT in D.

If I calculate the bands in the interface and after "x lapw2 -qtl -band -so" I run "x lapwso -p" then the bands look "normal" maybe I should run "x lapwso -p" before "lapw2". My comment is that "x lapwso -p" should be includded in the "bandstructure" page of the interface.

Para: wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at <wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at> Asunto: Re: [Wien] Problem for the bandstructure with PBE+SOC I have calculated the bandstructure of RbSnI3 (Pnma space group) with PBE successfully from wien2k 19.1. I have followed steps below to calculate the bandstructure with PBE+SOC (in a seperate directory): 1) Initialization has been done in batch mode (with init_lapw) 2) run_lapw -p 3) save_lapw case_nrel 4) init_so_lapw (Non polarised, RLO is not added) 5) run_lapw -p -so 6) generated the file case.klist_band (from xcrysden and the direction is ΓXSYΓZURTZ). 7) x lapw1 -band -p Obviously, after lapw1 a step with lapwso is necessary: x lapwso -p 8) x lapw2 -band -qtl -p -so 9) Fermi energy is set in case.insp (from case.scf2) 10) x spaghetti -p -so The steps from 2 to 10 are done from terminal and all steps are run without error but the bandstructure looks weird. I am unable to find whats going wrong. -- With regards Anupriya Nyayban Ph.D. Scholar Department of Physics NIT Silchar _______________________________________________ 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 -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Blaha, Inst. f.
