Spinors
Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:24 am
Dear VASPmaster,
I got the spinors from the WAVECAR; let's say, for a given band and k-point, the spinor is a column vector of 100 elements.
I'd like to know the ordering of the spin-up and down components.
Either the first 50 elements correspond to spin-up basis and the rest spin-down, or they are intercalated, i.e.
psi_n_k =
[a ;spin-up
b ;spin-down
c ;spin-up
d ;spin-down
...
...
]
Regards,
Luis
