Structure Calculations

ABSTRACTWe investigate techniques for solving the wave equation which are based on the idea of obtaining exact local solutions within each potential cell, which are then joined to form a global solution. We derive full potential multiple scattering theory (MST) from the Lippmann-Schwinger equation and show that it as well as a closely related cellular method are techniques of this type. This cellular method appears to have all of the advantages of MST and the added advantage of having a secular matrix with only nearest neighbor interactions. Since this cellular method is easily linearized one can rigorously reduce electronic structure calculations to the problem of solving a nearest neighbor tight-binding problem.

The Relationship

ABSTRACTWe derive a relativistic full potential multiple scattering theory (MST) in direct analog to the non-relativistic full potential MST[1, 2]. The secular equation is derived fromi the Lippmann-Schwinger equation by expanding the wave function in terms of cell basis functions which are locally exact solutions of the Dirac equation. The relationship between this theory and currently widely used relativistic munffin-tin MST is also discussed.
