Dear Wannier90 community,
I have a question regarding the use of the "projections" and
"spinor_projections" blocks:
In chapter 3.2 of the user guide, the "projections" block is used to
define spinor projections. However, in 5.1.6, the same input is
described as the "spinor_projections" block.
A quick search in the code revealed that in parameters.F90, only
"projections" is used, but not "spinor_projections". On the other hand,
kmesh.F90 writes the "spinor_projections" block, and the it seems that
pw2wannier90 reads it.
So my question is this: What is the exact difference in using
"spinor_projections" or "projections"? Can they be used interchangeably,
or should it always be "spinor_projections" when the spin part is set?
If the two are equivalent, what is the preferred method?
Best regards,
Dominik Gresch
