[Pw_forum] [pw_forum] how to set up spin-orbital coupling calculation in PWscf

[Stefano Baroni]

I am not sure I understand the question, nor would I probably be able  
to answer if I did. However, you may want to think about the fact  
that in the presence of SO coupling, a system is always (locally)  
spin polarized. You see the point? Stefano
