Increase SOC strength for band structure calculations?

Post by memelordjeff » Thu Jan 04, 2018 10:15 pm

I've been trying to figure out a way to increase the SOC strength for band structure calculations. I've gone through input variables and the various tutorials, but it doesn't seem like there's a way to do this in Abinit. Anyone know if its possible to do this? For background I'm using PAW psuedopotentials... Thanks in advance!

Hello,

You can use the variable spnorbscl
