<p>Dear ALL,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have asked this question before but I 'm not getting a solution to my problem. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I 'm doing SOC calculation on bilayer 2D tin, in the band structure I am getting band splitting, </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I suspect that band splitting is due to the UP and DOWN spin of the electron. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>For verifying I need to perform SOC calculation with Spin polarization so when the band structure is plotted</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I get which band is due to UP or DOWN spin. I have tired using nspin = 2 with noncolin = .true. but it </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>gives an error that either i have to use nspin =2 or noncolin = .true., other options does not give spin information which I require. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This is the last part I need. Please Help. And if it is not implemented in QE, that what would be the solution.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I 'm referring this research paper:</p>
