For spin-orbit calculations, where LSORBIT = .TRUE.
How to make entries for MAGMOM when there are a large number of atoms?
For example, in case of Ca3Co2O6, there are 22 atoms in the unit cell.
Co Ca O
4 6 12

When spin-orbit calculation is not considered, writing MAGMOM is simple
MAGMOM = 2*0 2*5 6*0 12*0

How to do that when LSORBIT = .TRUE. ?

thanks in anticipation.

Hi
Please read one of the previous thread:

Good luck

Hi
in my opinion, for MAGMOM, 6*0 12*0 is equal to 18*0. so, when LSORBIT = .True., you just need to increase the multiplier in the MAGMOM. such as, 54*0 for 6 Ca and 12 O .
good luck
