Task
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in a freestanding Ni monolayer.
Input

- Initialization of moment along z-direction (out of plane) (MAGMOM = 0.0 0.0 1.0).
- Spin-orbit interaction switched on (LSORBIT=.TRUE.).
- For the second calculation, switch to in-plane magnetization by setting MAGMOM = 1.0 0.0 0.0 in the INCAR file.

Calculation
- The sample output for the total energy using out of plane magnetization is given in the OSZICAR file:
... DAV: 20 -0.371322930070E+01 0.15852E-03 -0.11632E-03 636 0.235E-01 0.225E-02 DAV: 21 -0.371323204989E+01 -0.27492E-05 -0.13047E-05 500 0.184E-02 1 F= -.37132320E+01 E0= -.37139803E+01 d E =0.224478E-02 mag= 0.0000 0.0000 0.9035
- The sample output for the total energy using in plane magnetization looks like the following:
... DAV: 19 -0.371443443024E+01 -0.80757E-04 -0.35822E-03 1084 0.323E-01 0.119E-02 DAV: 20 -0.371446032472E+01 -0.25894E-04 -0.42423E-05 916 0.263E-02 1 F= -.37144603E+01 E0= -.37150300E+01 d E =0.170900E-02 mag= 0.9049 0.0000 0.0000
- From the energy difference of these calculations we see that the easy axis lies in plane:
