- Dear Prof. Ozaki,
I have a question about the unit in the exchange coupling parameter J_ij.
If the Heisenberg Hamiltonian is written as H = -sum_ij J_ij S_i . S_j, where the atomic spin S_i is unitless, J_ij should be in unit of eV or Hartree. However, the unit in OpenMX is cm^{-1}. May I know how should it be interpreted?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards, Leo
