[Pw_forum] U calculation with noncollinear spins

[Matteo Cococcioni]

Dear Peng,

I'm not expert of the non collinear implementation but I would expect
the U to not depend strongly on the orientation of localized magnetic
moments. So, at first approximation, you could use the one you compute
the usual way, from collinear magnetism.

HTH,

Matteo
