[Pw_forum] spin-polarized band structure plots for SO coupling

[nicvok]

In the case of spin-orbit coupling there is no proper spin up/ down  
anymore - one should keep this in mind! You need to project the spin  
expectation value on a
chosen quantization axis -> QE can do this http://www.quantum-espresso.org/wp-content/uploads/Doc/INPUT_BANDS.html
