Hi all,
Normally to do spin polarized calculation we use ISPIN=2 and set all magnetic moments along the z-direction (out of plane) in the MAGMOM tag. But what if all the magnetic moments are lying in-plane? Lets make more simple my question by the the example below:
Suppose we have a Ferromagnetic system with four atoms in the unit cell. And i want to set my magnetic moments for all atoms along the x-direction (i.e in-plane) instead of z-direction. Then in this case , i need the following tags in my non-magnetic INCAR to accurately describe the problem:
LNONCOLLINEAR=.TRUE
MAGMOM= 2 0 0 2 0 0 2 0 0 2 0 0 (#Magnitude of each magnetic moment is equal to 2 Bohr Magneton)
SAXIS = 0 0 1
so my this approach is right ? I need your comments and suggestions in this regard.
Thank You
