MODELING THE VALENCE ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE OF THE CORE REGION OF AN ATOM IN A SOLID WITHIN A LOCAL-DENSITY APPROXIMATION PSEUDOPOTENTIAL FRAMEWORK - REINTRODUCTION OF THE FULL NODAL FORM

A method for calculating all-electron wavefunctions within the pseudop otential framework is presented. The phase-shift technique is used to construct valence wavefunctions with the proper node structure in a co re region, matching the self-consistent partial pseudo-charge density that has been yielded by pseudopotential calculation in a solid. Makin g use of the total pseudo-charge density and the electrostatic potenti al of the pseudopotential calculation, the atomic-like all-electron ca lculation is performed.
