Electric-field-gradient calculations using the projector augmented wave method
Abstract
The first application of the projector augmented wave method to calculate electric-field gradients is presented. The projector augmented wave method is an all-electron electronic structure method that provides an accurate description of the wave function near the nucleus, and thus is well suited to the prediction of hyperfine parameters. Electric-field gradients have been evaluated for a variety of molecules and crystals containing main-group and transition-metal elements. Our results compare well with experiment and previous calculations based on the linear augmented plane-wave method. © 1998 The American Physical Society.
