[QE-users] How to separate the spin-up and spin-down electronic band structure?

Dear all,

I have solved my question. The spin direction in the non-collinear
is arbitrary, so one has to project them in the defined axis (projwfc.x).
However, the axis in the spin-polarized situation is along with the
default z-axis of the magnetization. The spin-polarized band
originates from the unpaired electrons, while the SOC coupling
is derived from the specific degeneracy of electronic orbitals.

Best wishes,
Zhibin
