Dear Wien users, now I have to join this thread, because this last piece of information sounds interesting also to me.
I am doing topological analyses of electron densities/Laplacians via WIEN2k and the discontinuities at the MT radii spoil basically any nabla² rho(r) map one tries to make with WIEN2k. I have tried many things (large RKMAX, lmax, APW vs. LAPW) but tiny steps at the MT boundary remain in rho(r) and therefore in all its derivatives. The information about generating a ".lcore" file is new to me - what does this file actually do if it exists and when should it be generated, already for the init or the scf step? best regards Georg Eickerling On 11/22/2016 07:51 PM, Laurence Marks wrote: > N.B., there can also be a discontinuity in the charge (small) due to the > tails of the core states which can be eliminated by doing "touch .lcore". > > On Mon, Nov 21, 2016 at 8:36 AM, Laurence Marks <l-ma...@northwestern.edu> > wrote: > >> APW+lo methods have a step in the gradient of the density at the RMT.
