Yes, see the tutorial called "spin" and for PAW, see the input variable pawspnorb.

Dear Jzwanzig,
Thank you for your guide,i studied that tutorial and variable for spin-orbit coupling but if i use this variable i have to use paw but there are not any paw psudopotential for my atoms in abinit (Bi,Te).in this tutorial there is input variable so_psp for spin orbit coupling too,can i use this variable with hgh psudopotentials?would you please guide me about this two variables?
Best regards.
Mina.
