I am a little bit confused. <br>1- Does the magnetization direction(specified in .inso) effect on band structure. If it is. which direction is appropriate?<br>2-Can the energy in the end of scf file be a good criteria for determination of easy axis?<br><br>Any suggestion will be appreciate in advanced<br></div></body></html>
