Kitaev interaction

[HANIF YUANDI WIDYANDARU]

Dear expert,

I notice there is the Kitaev function in the file. How do you implement that? Does it require an explicit K or the use of the exchange tensor? 

Thanks

If a kitaev-constant is specified in the material file, I have noticed that after the calculation the log file contains a line with "Calculating Kitaev interactions":

username@computername:~/Desktop/test$ grep -i kitaev input
exchange:kitaev-cutoff-range=2.6 !A
username@computername:~/Desktop/test$ grep -i kitaev test.mat
material[1]:kitaev-constant=1.0e-18

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards,
