Dear Wien users
Having a glance to the case.in1 files I've realized that there is
apparently no regular choice made by lstart in the linearization energy of
local orbitals (LO).
Running the TiO2 case in the examples I've found (file TIO2_in1):
WFFIL (WFPRI, SUPWF)
7.00 10 4 (R-MT*K-MAX; MAX L IN WF, V-NMT
0.30 5 0 (GLOBAL E-PARAMETER WITH n OTHER CHOICES, global APW/LAPW)
0 0.30 0.000 CONT 1
0 -4.35 0.005 STOP 1
1 -2.58 0.010 CONT 1
1 0.30 0.000 CONT 1
2 0.30 0.010 CONT 1
0.30 3 0 (GLOBAL E-PARAMETER WITH n OTHER CHOICES, global APW/LAPW)
0 -1.55 0.010 CONT 1
0 0.30 0.000 CONT 1
1 0.30 0.000 CONT 1
K-VECTORS FROM UNIT:4 -7.0 1.5 emin/emax window
i.e. the Ti 3s states are described by a valence state (E=0.3 Ry) plus LO
at -4.35 Ry.
For the Ti3p states it is the opposite: the 'valence' state is at -2.58 Ry
and the LO is at 0.3 Ry.
In the Wien2k users guide at page 78 the similar case.in1 file has for both
states the LO at higher energy than the valence stete.
I've noted this inversion also in other cases than TiO2. However, I find
quite intuitive that the LO should be described by a well bound states as
also indicated in the 'step by step introduction to lapw methods" of S.
Cottenier. In the example cited ther the LO were always atributed the lowes
energies.
Do we have to change by hand the *.in1 files or there is something more
below...?
