Relativistic Pseudopotentials

  • Chapter
Theoretical Chemistry and Physics of Heavy and Superheavy Elements

Part of the book series: Progress in Theoretical Chemistry and Physics ((PTCP,volume 11))

Abstract

The pseudopotential approximation is reviewed in detail for heavy and superheavy elements. It is shown that pseudopotentials are an effective and accurate way to treat relativistic effects in heavy element containing systems.

  8. Pseudopotential calculations are less accurate than all-electron calculations, but they simulate the results of the latter often surprisingly well, for substantially smaller expenses. It is therefore not astonishing that in the chemistry of heavy atoms, relativistic pseudopotential theory is practically the method of choice. It is certainly the most successful of all approximate relativistic molecular theories (W. Kutzelnigg, 1987)
