[Wien] optics calculation with spin orbit coupling

[soumyajyoti haldar]

Dear Wien2k users and Prof. Blaha

I am trying to calculate magneto-optical properties of some 3d transition
metal.
For this purpose we need to do spin orbit coupling calculation first. For
normal optics calculation with spin-polarization option we need to do
addjoint_lapw to join case.outputjoint(up/dn) and form case.joint file.
Then we proceed with "x kram"
My confusion is do we need to do addjoint_lapw also for spin polarized
spin-orbit coupling case since the spins are not independent any more.

any clarification will be very helpful.

Thanks and regards
