Local orbitals (LO)Ti a<strong>to</strong>mic sphereLO• LOs[2E 1 E1EA u B u C u ] Y ( rm mm mˆ)• are confined <strong>to</strong> an a<strong>to</strong>mic sphere• have zero value <strong>and</strong> slope at R• Can treat two principal QN nfor each azimuthal QN ( e.g. 3p <strong>and</strong> 4p)• Corresponding states are strictlyorthogonal• (e.g.semi-core <strong>and</strong> valence)• Tail of semi-core states can berepresented by plane waves• Only slightly increases <strong>the</strong> basis set(matrix size)D.J.Singh,Phys.Rev.
