This example shows how to use pw.x to calculate the total energy
and the band structure of fcc-Pt with a fully relativistic US-PP
which includes spin-orbit effects.
The calculation proceeds as follows:
1) make a self-consistent calculation for Pt (input=pt.scf.in,
output=pt.scf.out).
2) make a band structure calculation for Pt (input=pt.nscf.in,
output=pt.nscf.out).
