Hello
i have worked by abinit and now i am going to calculate spin-orbit coupling by abinit.can i do this calculation by abinit?
Best regards.

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.
