Asking about spin dependent optical properties

#1 Post by moumita.kar@northwestern.edu » Fri Aug 16, 2024 3:18 pm

Hello!

Is it possible to calculate the spin-dependent optical properties using LOPTICS=TRUE?

Thank you so much in advance.

Best,
Moumita

I'm not entirely sure what you mean.
An optical calculation using ISPIN=2 works and you will get the following:
1) One (non-split) output for the density-density and current-current delectric function (imaginary and real) in the OUTCAR and vasprun.xml files.
2) Conductivity in the vasprun.xml file for each spin channel.

I hope this helps you.
