This directory contains examples and applications of the SPIN package
=====================================================================

- the iron, cobalt_hcp, cobalt_fcc and nickel directories provide 
examples of spin-lattice calculations.

- the bfo repository provides an example of spin dynamics calculation
performed on a fixed lattice, and applied to the multiferroic 
material bismuth-oxide. 

- the read_restart directory provides examples allowing to write or 
read data files, and restart magneto-mechanical simulations.  

- vizualization of the dump files can be achieved using Ovito or 
VMD. See the vmd repository for help vizualizing results with VMD. 

** Note, the aim of this repository is mainly to provide users with
examples. Better values and tuning of the magnetic and mechanical 
interactions can be achieved for more accurate materials 
simulations. **
