[Wien] A basic question regarding Rmt of the same element at different compounds

[delamora]

I would assume that if you want to compare these 2 systems in energy then you need to use the same Rmt in both systems, and it would be with 1.66, otherwise I assume that in the secont system (after Li extracction) the spheres will overlap if 1.72 is used.
Now, if you have different # of atoms in each system then I cannot see how you can compare these systems.

Dear Prof. Blaha,

                   In a lithium-based compound, I have Rmt(Li)=1.72 while after extraction of 1-mole lithium the Rmt of the rest of the Li atoms becomes Rmt(Li) = 1.66 , whether these two compounds are comparable for the calculation of Li extraction voltage or I may need to fix both of them either at 1.72 or at 1.66?

Looking forward to your advice.

with regards,

When these are 2 independent calculations, the RMT can differ and the
optimal choice should be taken for each compound.

If you want to compare total energies (or maybe partial charges), the
RMTs must be identical.
