half metal

[kazemoor]

Dear all
Can yambo do GW for half-metals(i.e magnetic material) (halfmetals is a material that in one chanel is metal and in other channel is semiconductor)?
I did spin-polarized calculation and when I want to convert the data to yambo by p2y it fails. Could anyone tell me that this error is because of technical mistake or in principle yambo cannot do spin polarization calculation?

Dear Ali,

Yambo can do spin polarized calculation in principle, but unfortunately this option is quite new
and it is not released in the gpl version. At this moment I can't give you any prevision on when
this part of the code will be released.

Cheers,

Daniele

Dear Ali

a new version of Yambo that supports spin is now available, you can download it here:
