Non-collinear magnetism

[nancynaguib]

Hi Abinit users,
I am wondering is anyone had tried abinit on non-collinear magnetic compound? So far, i have using abinit with either colinear or strictly antiferromagnetic but not canted , however the real compound have a canted AF.
Thanks
Nancy

Hi Nancy,

non collinear magnetism works fine. For slightly canted materials it is delicate, and has been cleaned recently. Try the latest versions in norm conserving pseudopotentials: the PAW + non collinear canting can go to 0 spuriously in some cases.
