Dear Shu-Ting,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Indeed, without the .spn file, Wannier does not have any information on the spin of the states.</div>
<div class="">The use of .spn has been added in Wannier 2.0, and while the Quantum Espresso interface has been updated to produce it, most other interfaces are still lagging behind.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I suggest that you contact directly the Abinit developers to know what is the status of the interface, and if there is already someone working on the support of .spn.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best,</div>
<div class="">Giovanni</div>

<div class="gmail_default">Thank you for your suggestion. I've checked ex.17, but I'm still confused about it. </div>
<div class="gmail_default">I'm using abinit to output "mmn" and "amn" files. Then I use w90 with input files</div>

<div class="gmail_default"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="gmail_default">However, during the calculation, I got no "spn" file. Is it because abinit is interfaced</div>

<div class="gmail_default"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="gmail_default">Actually all that I want to know is the spin of each WF. Is the spin of each WF not</div>
<div class="gmail_default">well-defined? If so, would that be possible to extract it from w90-1.2 ? </div>
