Re: [Wien] Effect of finite nucleus on the change of electron capture decay rate under compression

Dear colleagues, I still can dig out the program, though we did not use it for years. It worked fine for Fe, but not for Gd and it failed for lighter nuclei. I am rather busy this week, but I'll respond at the end of month. Pavel Novak On Tue, 21 Jan 2014, Laurence Marks wrote: > A relevant

A relevant paper may be http://yclept.ucdavis.edu/Publ/Bhf_SIC.pdf Novak et al, PHYSICAL REVIEW B 67, 140403R, 2003. N.B., if anyone has the code please send it to me -- I will keep a copy (I thought I had it). Maybe it should be part of the unsupported software. On Tue, Jan 21, 2014 at 7:05 AM,

I don't have this SIC code, which gave better hyperfine fields for Fe (but failed miserable for another test, so it might have been accidentally). Anyway, yes, try also LDA, as GGAs may behave strange at the nucleus. On 01/21/2014 01:56 PM, Laurence Marks wrote: Interesting. Maybe relevant, m

2 more simple tests: a) Put NREL instead of RELA into case.struct. This will make non-relativistic calculations and the corresponding wf. will not diverge at the nucleus. My (naive) thinking is that for Be you do not need relativistic effects. b) If you want to explore the effect of avera

Interesting. Maybe relevant, maybe not. I seem to remember that conventional functionals do not always do a great job near the nucleus, so there can be errors in the high angle x-ray scattering factors. Some time ago there was an experimental lcore which did a better job; unfortunately I cannot fi

I tried different values of R0 (R0=0.0001 BU, 0.1 BU, 0.4 BU) for calculating the electron density at the nucleus. Of course, the electron density changes for different values of R0 and so the predicted electron capture rate also changes. However I am not trying to compare the calculated
