Implementation of spin-current density functionals in VASP — •Fabien Tran, Marie-Therese Huebsch, and Martijn Marsman — VASP Software GmbH, A-1090, Vienna, Austria

The implementation of spin-current density functionals (SCDF) in VASP is reported. SCDFs, which depend on the spin kinetic-energy density and spin current density, are intended for non-collinear calculations and can capture a non-zero local exchange-correlation spin torque. Results obtained with various SCDFs, namely TDRU [Tancogne-Dejean et al., Phys. Rev. B 107, 165111 (2023)], nc-mSCAN [Desmarais et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 106402 (2025)] and HTM [Huebsch et al., arXiv:2501.04124 (2025)] will be presented.
