Density Functional Perturbation Theory For Lattice Dynamics With Fully Relativistic Ultrasoft Pseudopotentials: The Magnetic Case

We extend density functional perturbation theory for lattice dynamics with fully relativistic ultrasoft pseudopotentials to magnetic materials. Our approach is based on the application of the time-reversal operator to the Sternheimer linear system and to its self-consistent solutions. Moreover, we discuss how to include in the formalism the symmetry operations of the magnetic point group which require the time-reversal operator. We validate our implementation by comparison with the frozen phonon method in fcc Ni and in a monatomic ferromagnetic Pt wire.
