[Wien] to all TELNES users

[L. D. Marks]

I have not used the TELNES code (yet). My biggest concerns (wish list)
would be:
a) Addition of bloch-wave code to correctly include dynamical diffraction
effects; even a projected potential approximation might be useful.
b) Are the directional selection rules, including breakdown of the dipole
approximation correctly included?
c) Low-loss (plasmon/dielectric function) code.

I would like to do this in the near future, in correspondence with C. Hebert, J. Luitz and P. Schattschneider of the Vienna group that originally contributed the program.

Do  you have any ideas - things that annoy you in the present version of the program, features you like to see included (both of technical and physical nature), or, even better, features you have implemented yourself and would like to share with the world?  We have quite a few ideas ourselves, but maybe you have something we haven't thought of.

Perhaps it's best if you send your comments to me directly at kevin.jorissen at ua.ac.be  (I read the ML though and will certainly find your suggestions there as well).
