Using Fermi's golden rule + selection rules + common sense 1) Fermi golden rule:
(All: can everybody read the formula above?) where (cv) are conduction and valence states 2) selection rules tell you which ones of the above matrix elements vanish and which don't 3) common sense: in an extended system, many occupied (v) and empty (c) states contribute to the sum, so that selection rules are of little help, in general. when the spectrum is dominated by localized states, an analysis based on symmetry and selection rules is usually much more meaningful ... hope this helps Stefano B On Aug 5, 2009, at 7:50 AM, Mansoureh Pashangpour wrote: > Dear all > I have perorm GGA+U for a system with trigonally distorted (D3d) > of octahedral symmetry (MO6) (with orbital 3d6). > using PDOS for this system perdict two transition.
