Abstract:Electronic structure calculations are mostly carried out with Coulomb potential singularity adapted basis sets such as STO or contracted GTO. With another basis or for heavy elements, the pseudopotentials may appear as a practical alternative. Here, we introduce the exact pseudopotential (EPP) to remove the Coulomb singularity and test it for orbitals of small atoms with the interpolating wavelet basis set. We apply EPP to the Galerkin method with a basis set consisting of Deslauriers–Dubuc scaling functions o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
