Dear all, I have seen few papers in which people calculated bandstructure of magnetic compounds with spin-orbit coupling using VASP. Please let me know how to set that?
If you want to do calculations with SOC in VASP, the VASP manual page might be a good place to start:

And for a magnetic system you would need to set the initial moments, hence you might also want to have a look at
https://cms.mpi.univie.ac.at/wiki/index.php/MAGMOM
The band structure calculations require to choose the path to through the Brillouin zone, check the tutorial and the vast manual to perform the calculations. On the other hand, there is a handy tool on the internet to choose the k-points for your specific structure:
