order DOSCAR in a SPIN-ORBIT calculation

#1 Post by autieri » Thu Feb 21, 2013 9:49 am

Dear admin, dear vasp users

I would like to study the density of states in a case where the spin-orbit coupling is included. It seems that there are 4 different columns for each orbital. What is the order of these columns?
how can I obtain the total DOS for the single atom?
how can I obtain something similar to the up spin? down spin?
Why some column give me a negative contribution to the DOS?
A book, paper or tutorial will be great

thanks

the order of the colums is:
total DOS, and the DOS according to the magnetizations along x,y,z of each orbital (s,p,d,..) and atom
