Abstract
The presence of spin-orbit coupling in spin-polarized electronic structure descriptions leads to magnetic anisotropies and to a reduction of symmetry of the corresponding effective one-particle Hamilton operator. The theory of magnetic groups is needed to make use of this symmetry in a KKR-type Green’s function method in a non-heuristic manner. An application to the magneto-crystalline anisotropy of Fe is discussed.
