Dear Vasp-users,

In the PAW implementation of spin-orbit coupling in VASP, does it take in to account the interstitial region(therefore the orbitals in the interstitial region) while calculating the L.S matrix element or the spin-orbit energy OR only the region upto RWIG specified in the PAW POTCAR file?

In other words, does the spin-orbit energy contain the contribution from the interstitial wave functions?
