A mixed ultrasoft/normconserved pseudopotential scheme

A variant of the Vanderbilt ultrasoft pseudopotential scheme, where the normconservation is released for only one or a few angular channels, is presented. Within this scheme some difficulties of the truly ultrasoft pseudopotentials are overcome without sacrificing the pseudopotential softness. i) Ghost states are easily avoided without including semicore shells. ii) The ultrasoft pseudo-charge-...

Electronic polarization in the ultrasoft pseudopotential formalism

An expression is given for the electronic polarization of an insulating crystal within the ultrasoft pseudopotential scheme. The pseudopotential charge-augmentation terms modify the usual Berry-phase expression, and also give rise to a second term that takes the form of a conventional expectation value.

Ultrasoft spin-dependent pseudopotentials.

The use of the spin-dependent pseudopotentials has been shown to markedly enhance the transferability of the commonly used spin-neutral pseudopotential method for the study of the structural and magnetic properties of transition-metal-containing materials. Unfortunately, because the method was based on the rather expensive norm-conserving pseudopotential formalism, the method was limited to the...

Generation of Projector Augmented-Wave atomic data: A 71 element validated table in the XML format

In the Projector Augmented Wave (PAW) method developed by Blöchl (1994), a PAW data file is needed for each element, taking the role of the pseudopotential file used with the norm-conserving or ultrasoft formalisms. In this paper, we review methods for generating PAW data files and for evaluating their accuracy, transferability, and numerical efficiency in simulations of bulk solids.We have dev...

Quasiatomic orbitals for ab initio tight-binding analysis

Wave functions obtained from plane-wave density-functional theory (DFT) calculations using normconserving pseudopotential, ultrasoft pseudopotential, or projector augmented-wave method are efficiently and robustly transformed into a set of spatially localized nonorthogonal quasiatomic orbitals (QOs) with pseudoangular momentum quantum numbers. We demonstrate that these minimal-basis orbitals ca...
