Fully relativistic pseudopotentials
Fully relativistic pseudopotentials generated by
the MBK (PRB 47, 6728 (1993)) scheme within LDA (CA13) and GGA (PBE13) which contain
a partial core correction and fully relativistic effects including spin-orbit coupling.
Pseudo-atomic orbitals
The number below the symbol means a cutoff radius (a.u.) of the confinement
potential. These file includes fifteen radial parts for each angular
momentum quantum number l (=0,1,2,3). The basis functions were generated by variationally
optimizing the corresponding primitive basis functions in the single atom and the FCC bulk.
The input files used for the orbital optimization can be found at
Os_opt.dat
and
Osfcc_opt.dat.
Since Os_CA13.vps and Os_PBE13.vps include the 5p, 5d, and 6s states (14 electrons)
as the valence states, the minimal basis set is Os*.*-s1p1d1.
Our recommendation for the choice of cutoff radius of basis functions is that
Os7.0.pao is enough for bulks, but Os9.0.pao or Os11.0.pao is preferable
for molecular systems.
Benchmark calculations by the PBE13 pseudopotential with the various basis functions
(1) Calculation of the total energy as a function of lattice constant in the fcc structure,
where the total energy is plotted relative to the minimum energy for each case. a0
and B0 are the equilibrium lattice constant and bulk modulus obtained by fitting to
the Murnaghan equation of state. The difference between Os7.0-s2p2d2f1 and Os7.0-s3p3d2f1
in the total energy at the minimum point is 0.0043 eV/atom.
An input file used for the OpenMX calculations can be found at
Osfcc-EvsV.dat .
For comparison the result by the Wien2k code is also shown, where
the calculation was performed by default setting in the Ver. 9.1 of Wien2k except for
the use of RMT x KMAX of 12.
(2) Calculations of the band dispersion in the fcc structure,
where the non-spin polarized collinear calculation with the lattice constant of 3.866 Ang.
was performed using Os_PBE13.vps and Os7.0-s2p2d2f1,
and the origin of the energy is taken to be the Fermi level.
