[Wien] How to get the radius to contain the valence electron charge

2008-01-02 Thread lu wei
Dear all;
   Wishing everyone happy new year!
   In paper (PRL, 75, 172108), it  referred that  the radius Ri is chosen 
so than the sphere centered at atom i in a crystal contains exactly the valence 
electronic charge Zi. They said that after the standard total energy 
calculation within DFT, this radius can be decided. I want to ask if I can 
calculate this value within wien2k and how to get the radius using wien2k. 
   Thank you very much for your help.
   
  Best Wishes,

[Wien] How to get the radius to contain the valence electron charge

2008-01-02 Thread Peter Blaha
You cannot do this with standard WIEN2k.

However, the necessary code changes are rather trivial. One can expand the
planewave-representation of the charge density (clmval) from the center
of the corresponding atoms using a besselfunction-expansion.
Check some math-book.

Such an expansion is actually in the code in lapw0.F, where the plane-wave
coulomb-potential is expanded exactly for R=Rmt. You would need to plugin
the density (instead of V) and do it on a radial mesh (for r  RMT). Then use
the integration subroutine charge to integrate until you get the desired
charge.
