Non-collinear magnetization density in VAu4

• The spin and orbital magnetic moments of VAu4 have been calculated using a first principles method that allows for noncollinear magnetic ordering. The large spin–orbit coupling of the Au atom is argued to induce large noncollinear components of the magnetization density as well as a parallel coupling between spin and orbital moments of the V atom, in contrast to expectations from Hund's third rule.
