calculate dielectric constant with spin-orbit

#1 Post by hatdau » Tue Aug 19, 2014 7:02 pm

Dear VASPers,

Can anyone explain to me why the results for w/o and w/ spin orbit dielectric functions are totally different? For example w/o spin-orbit I can reproduce imaginary part of epsilon as in VASP example, i.e with a finite gap. However when including spin orbit the gap in imaginary part of epsilon disappear, the eps_2 star increasing to finite number at zero frequency.

I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestion.
Thanks,


I use following tag:

LOPTICS = .TRUE.
LRPA = .TRUE.

and to include spin-orbit I add

LSORBIT = T
