[Wien] to all TELNES users

[Pavel Novak]

Dear colleagues,

let me to contribute to the discussion. We participate on a new EU project
CHIRALTEM (coordinator Peter Schattschneider) where we should generalize
the TELNES program for the more complicated case when the symmetry in a
magnetic system is broken by the spin-orbit coupling. We are starting just
now with reprogramming the TELNES (that I never touched before). My first
impression is that indeed the present implementation is not optimal. It
would be probably more effective to use instead of LAPW2(QTL) the program
QTL. Then there is no need to use the whole Brillouin zone as QTL
performs the symmetrization. Also the atoms for ELNES may be selected.
I hope that, providing no unexpected obstacles will appear, we'll finish
the reprogramming during September-October.

Regards
Pavel Novak

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).
