[Wien] two questions about NMR calculations

[Bing Zhou]

Dear Robert，

It is so great to have the response from you, I have carefully read your series publications about NMR chemical shift calculations using WIEN2k on Physical Review B, which are so helpful.

Using the borate mineral of probatite (CaNa[B5O7(OH)4].3H20) as an example, I am going to investigate the magnetic shielding mechanism at the five B sites in it by decomposing the chemical shifts into different energy windows. These energy windows include core states (<-3.6), Na/2s (-3.6, -3.5), Ca/3s (-2.8, -2.6), Na/2p (-1.5, -1.45), Ca/3p & O/2s (-1.45, -1.1), B/2s (-0.7, -0.45), B/2p & Na/3s, Ca/43 and O/2p (>-0.45). Of course, I also calculated the contributions from the energy window gaps between them, which usually are very close to 0.0000.

At the same time, I also obtained the chemical shifts (":NMRTOTxxx) at each B sites from the energy window of (-infinity, +infinity) by running "x_nmr_lapw".

I tabulated the data of ":NMRTOTxxx" from the above different energy windows using "x_nmr_lapw -emin xx -emax yy". However, the ":NMRTOTxxx" from (-infinity, +infinity) is not equal the summation of ":NMRTOTxxx" from the above windows such as core states, Na/2p, B/2s, O/2p, B/2p etc. There exists a systematic differenece around 11 ppm between the summation and that for (-infinity, +infinity), may I interpret such a difference as the interestial contributions for the chemical shifts?

On the other hand, the summations of ":NMRTOTxxx" from the above energy windows also deviate from the corresponding summations of ":NMRSPHxxx" as expected, may I also explain such deviations as from the interestial contributions?

In one word, I am a begainner for such a NMR study, I am desperate for your helps, I hope you don't mind giving me further helps when you are available.

Thank you again!

Bing

 Hi,
 energy is in Ry. Did you included core contribution to the
 total shielding?
 It is excluded when emin is specified.
 
 regards
