Spin orbit splitting question

#1 Post by amunoz » Tue May 11, 2010 12:04 pm

Dear All
I have one question concerning the calculation of the spin orbit splitting with VAsP. I am interested to study the SO in the cinnabar, if the splitting is positive then the upper of the two components has +/- 3/2, so the X+iY should be the upper level
(spin up) and if the spin orbit splitting is negative the X-iY (spin down) will be the upper level at Gamma. I wolud like to know if it is possible to have the pahse factors at gamma for the different wave functions. In fact using LORBIT = 11 one obtain the DOSCAR and PROCAR file with phase factors, but in the manual doesn't appear the info concerning the meaning of these phase factor, or the meaning of the lm decomposed procar file. Any body can help and explain it?
Thanks
Alfonso
