XC non-linear core correction<br />

• On the reduced real-space grid, electron charge depends only on<br />

−1<br />

Ω<br />

• Model core charge has a detailed dependence on<br />

– Resulting analysis is rather complex<br />

Ξ ij<br />

• Core charges must be extremely smooth functions to avoid significant<br />

convergence errors<br />

– Reason: Strain <strong>and</strong> atomic position derivatives <strong>of</strong> the xc self-interaction <strong>of</strong> a<br />

single core don’t cancel point-by-point on the grid, but only in the integral<br />

– Inconsistencies in the treatment <strong>of</strong> the core charges <strong>and</strong> their derivatives in<br />

some Src_2psp/psp*cc.f routines makes matters worse
