[Pw_forum] how to set the initial magnetization in non-collinear calculations

[Eduardo Menendez]

Hi,
In non-collinear calcularions the direction of the starting magnetic moment
of on species is set using angle1(i) and angle(2). How is magnitude of the
magnetic moment set?

Is it with starting_magnetization(i) ?

I just want to be sure. The help just explain the collinear case.

angle1(i), i=1,ntyp REAL

The angle expressed in degrees between the initial
magnetization and the z-axis. For noncollinear calculations
only; index i runs over the atom types.



angle2(i), i=1,ntyp REAL

The angle expressed in degrees between the projection
of the initial magnetization on x-y plane and the x-axis.
For noncollinear calculations only.
