[Wien] Calculation of Electron Structure Factor by lapw3

[Ding Peng]

Dear Peter,

Many thanks for your answers. I have followed your instructions and find that the value of electron structure factor Vg derived directly from case.vcoul is approximately -2pi times of the actual value of Vg.

Regards,
Ding

The purpose of my calculations is to get electron structure factors Vg from the coulomb potentials. I am running Cu.struct, which is the case of the elementary copper. According to the userguide, the component program lapw3 has the functionality to convert the electron density, contained in the file case.clmsum, to X-ray structure factors, Fg, as the electron density is the Fourier sum of the X-ray structure factors corresponding to different scattering vector g.

Similar to the definition of X-ray structure factor, the coulomb potential can also be expressed as the Fourier sum of the electron structure factors, Vg, corresponding to different scattering vector g.

But unfortunately, the generated electron structure factors are completely wrong compared to the electron structure factors converted from X-ray structure factors by Mott formula. I don't know if it is wrong to generate electron structure factors with lapw3 by directly copying case.vcoul to case.clmsum.
