Yes the direction is for the total magnetic moment (thus the sum
of spin and orbital contribution). <br>

<div>Dear Xavier, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks a lot for the suggestion.</div>
<div>When we say "such a direction is perhaps experimentally
known" and "we impose a given direction in real-space for
the magnetic moment moments when we specify the (h k l)
direction", do the magnetic moment mean the total magnetic
moment, which is the sum of spin and orbital moments? </div>
<div>In my system, we have a significant contribution of
orbital moment, which is even larger than the spin moment.</div>

Choice of magnetization axis in the case with spin-orbit

<div>
<div>You must try different directions in order to find
the magnetization </div>
<div>easy axis.</div>
<div>Such a direction is perhaps experimentally know in
your case. Thus you </div>
<div>can check by considering few crystallographic
directions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Should I always use positive values for (h k l)?</div>
<div>Or should I choose (0 0 1) when I prepare the spin
moment to be up, that</div>
<div>is, during the stage of "instgen_lapw -ask"</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The answer is no. The spin sign (up/down) has no
relationship with the </div>
<div>direction of the magnetic moment.</div>
<div>You are just imposing a given direction in real-space
for the magnetic </div>
<div>moments when you specify the (h k l) direction.</div>

<div>Dear Peter and Wien2k users,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For the spin-orbit case, when we run initso_lapw,
we are prompted to</div>
<div>choose the moment direction</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>---->Please select the direction of the moment (
h k l )</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I notice that the choices of e.g., (0 0 1) and
(0 0 -1) give slight</div>
<div>different values.</div>
<div>In particular, when I choose (0 0 1), I obtain
from LDA+U+SO</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>:MMINT: MAGNETIC MOMENT IN INTERSTITIAL =
-0.32640</div>
<div>:MMI001: MAGNETIC MOMENT IN SPHERE 1 =
-4.71648</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>:ORB001: ORBITAL
MOMENT: 0.00000 0.00000 4.59939 PROJECTION ON M</div>
<div>4.59939</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>while with (0 0 -1), I obtain from LDA+U+SO with
the rest of conditions</div>
<div>the same</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>:MMINT: MAGNETIC MOMENT IN INTERSTITIAL =
-0.34861</div>
<div>:MMI001: MAGNETIC MOMENT IN SPHERE 1 =
-4.72342</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>:ORB001: ORBITAL
MOMENT: 0.00000 0.00000 4.52838 PROJECTION ON M</div>
<div>-4.52838</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Should I always use positive values for (h k l)?</div>
<div>Or should I choose (0 0 1) when I prepare the spin
moment to be up, that</div>
<div>is, during the stage of "instgen_lapw -ask"</div>
<div>select spinpolarization up, dn or non-magnetic ( u,
d, n )</div>
<div>u</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>while (0 0 -1) when I prepare the spin moment to be
down, that is, during</div>
<div>the stage of "instgen_lapw -ask"</div>
<div>select spinpolarization up, dn or non-magnetic ( u,
d, n )</div>
<div>d</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I appreciate if you can share your thought.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Thanks,</div>
