Is there an ABINIT tutorial for ferromagnetic materials?
Suppose that we have a lattice of which we want to examine ferromagnetic properties. Can abinit help? If so, how?

Hello of course Abinit can be helpful. It can calculate
1.non-magnetic system by setting: nsppol=1,nspinor=1, nspden=1
2. Collinear Ferromagnetism: nsppol=2, nspinor=1, nspden=2 which means spin density calculates up/down separately, and has two spin polarization, but no need of spinor for relativistic calculation.
3. anti-ferromagnetic: nsppol=1,nspinor=1,nspden=2
4. non-collinear magnetism: nsppol=1,nspinor=2,nspden=4
5. S-L coupling: nsppol=1,nspinor=2,nspden=1 this means taking relativistic spinor wave function into account, while there is no total net spin.
