Why would you like to specify a different (higher) core energy. It is well known that DFT core energies are not good representations of the experimental edge energy.

If you specify a different energy, you get a core wavefucntion which is diverging at larger distance from the nucleus and you matrix elements would be wrong.

Dear Wien2k Users,

I am using wien2k 18.2 for the computation of XMCD spectra.
I tried to compute S K-edge XMCD spectra for my system (US). However, whilst doing that I encountered a problem for the specification K-edge values in the case.injoint file.
The injoint is given below.
/

/*1  9999 9999              : LOWER,UPPER and (optional) UPPER-VAL BANDINDEX
-0.0000    0.00100   1.0000 : EMIN DE EMAX FOR ENERGYGRID IN ryd
eV                            : output units  eV / ryd  / cm-1
XMCD                          : omitt these 4 lines for non-XMCD
-175.4856               : core energies in Ry (grep :1S case.scf) /S K-edge
1.6  0.6                      : core-hole broadening (eV) for both core states
0.1                           : spectrometer broadening (eV)
      6                        : SWITCH
      4                        : SWITCH
      2                        : NUMBER OF COLUMNS
    0.1  0.1  0.3              : BROADENING (FOR DRUDE MODEL - switch 6,7 -
ONLY)*

For the M45 edge we specify 3D and 3D* edge values in Ryd. I am not sure about the K-edge. The only core values available for S-atom in the SCF file are:

    1.ATOM S 4 CORE STATES

:1S 001: 1S -175.486319774 Ry

:2S 001: 2S -14.239790578 Ry

:2PP001: 2P* -10.243054336 Ry

:2P 001: 2P -10.150333457 Ry


Can someone help, how can I select the higher core energy?


The corresponding case.inop file is given below:

/*9999 1       number of k-points, first k-point
-10.0 10.0 9999 Emin, Emax for matrix elements, NBvalMAX
XMCD 1 K      optional line: for XMCD of 1st atom and K-edge
6             number of choices (columns in *outmat): 2: hex or tetrag. case
1             Re xx
2             Re yy*/

/*OFF           ON/OFF   writes MME to unit 4 */

Am I missing anything here? Could someone help?

Thanks in advance.


Best regards,

KRISH
