Basis set in the ๐˜Ž๐˜ž calculation โ€‹

Representation of one-particle wave functions โ€‹

The wave functions are expands by two types of basis set as follows:

where is atomic LMTO basis and is interstitial plane wave to comprised interstitial area.

Detail of โ€‹

The is generated from bloch sum of atomic orbital to satisfy the bloch symmetry on basis functions, i.e.:

The radial part of atomic orbital are constructed from , , and based on argumentation of Smooth Henkel functions.

The index of atom is omitted for simplify. Each has 2 or 3 reference energy of . is the channel orbital of solution on radial Scrhรถdinger equation at energy , is energy derivative of , is local orbital which is the also solution on radial Scrhรถdinger equation but the given energy is far from . The energy of is set as the center of gravity for occupied states. This means that this basis set is not fixed in the QSGW cycle.

?? About radial equation??

  • Is LDA used?
  • In the in radial equation obtained from self-consistent calculation?
  • What is the boundary conditions of radial equation.
  • is not the solution of radial equation, the does not satisfy the some boundary conditions, for example
  • how to set the reference energy in the case of ?

The interstitial plane wave is expressed as follows:

Since the hollow out the MT region, these basis have overlap matrix between them, i.e.:

where,

Formula of inner product โ€‹

This is for checking the orthonormality of wave function, but it is good for better understanding.

The cross term are vanished.
