Spin-Orbit coupling effects in topological insulator Bi2Se3

Welcome to MMSE! That's an interesting question! At first the "crossing" of energy levels seemed peculiar to me, but when I look at the energy levels for Se and for Bi separately, everything ...

Calculating Reorganisation energy using ORCA

You essentially have two options. The first, simpler and more precise, is the so-called 4-point strategy. As the name says, you will need a total of 4 calculations. Two geometry optimisations (one on ...

Spin-orbit coupling and lattice constant

It's hard to tell without any information about the material, but it could be a feature. It is known that transition metal compounds can have an involved interplay between spin-orbit coupling and the ...

Does VASP include energy penalty contribution in OUTCAR energy of constrained moment calculation?

A colleague shared with me that the energy VASP outputs does seem to include E_p, since different LAMBDA gave her different ...

How to carry out Spin-projected band structure calculation( as shown in figure)using VASP?

you may try sumo-bandplot, go through the documentation and see if this is gonna be any help for your case. I am not sure if you might need to do band unfolding to get the correct projection. In that ...
