[Pw_forum] Calculation of spin polarisation from PWscf

[lan haiping]

Hi, Dimpy!
I think it is a  well repeated question if you pay more attention to
previous messages or userguide.
As described in $QE/Doc/INPUT_PW.html:
'
nspin INTEGER  *Default:* 1

nspin = 1 :  non-polarized calculation (default)

nspin = 2 :  spin-polarized calculation, LSDA
             (magnetization along z axis)

nspin = 4 :  spin-polarized calculation, noncollinear
             (magnetization in generic direction)
             DO NOT specify nspin in this case;
             specify "noncolin=.TRUE." instead



Hope it helps
