Effective norm-conserving

The shape-consistent (or norm-conserving ) RECP approaches are most widely employed in calculations of heavy-atom molecules though ener-gy-adjusted/consistent pseudopotentials [58] by Stuttgart team are also actively used as well as the Huzinaga-type ab initio model potentials [66]. In plane wave calculations of many-atom systems and in molecular dynamics, the separable pseudopotentials [61, 62, 63] are more popular now because they provide linear scaling of computational effort with the basis set size in contrast to the radially-local RECPs. The nonrelativistic shape-consistent effective core potential was first proposed by Durand Barthelat [71] and then a modified scheme of the pseudoorbital construction was suggested by Christiansen et al. [72] and by Hamann et al. [73]. 

The calculated and measured electron effective mass m c and its k-dependency for WZ and ZB GaN and AIN are summarised in TABLES 1 and 2, respectively. Suzuki et al derived them with a full-potential linearised augmented plane wave (FLAPW) band calculation [4,5], Miwa et al used a pseudopotential mixed basis approach to calculate them [6]. Kim et al [7] determined values for WZ nitrides by the full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital (FP-LMTO) method. Majewski et al [8] and Chow et al [9,10] used the norm-conserving pseudo-potential plane-wave (PPPW) method. Chen et al [11] also used the FLAPW method to determine values for WZ GaN, and Fan et al obtained values for ZB nitrides by their empirical pseudo-potential (EPP) calculation [12],...

In LDA calculations, pseudopotentials (or effective core potentials) are almost always used to increase the efficiency of calculations, even for calculations involving hydrogen. This allows smoother wavefunctions, which in turn reduces the number of basis functions. It has been found that transferability (the ability of a pseudoatom to mimic a full-core atom) is governed by norm conservation [39], and pseudopotentials are constructed so that the pseudo-orbitals match the full-core orbitals outside the core. 

DFT calculations were performed with SeqQuest [18], employing localized basis sets represented by a linear combination of optimized double- plus polarization-contracted Gaussian functions. Effects of Au core electrons were treated by norm-conserving pseudopotentials, including nonlinear core corrections. 

As discussed in the chapter on the pseudopotential concept, an extension of the Heine-Animalu pseudopotentials was provided by Bachelet, Hamann and Schliiter, who calculated norm-conserving ionic pseudopotentials from atomic calculations for all the elements, including relativistic effects, and fitted their results with a relatively small set of analytic functions, the parameters of which were tabulated. The resulting matrix elements - - ... 

The norm of the density operator o- = (Tr o-V ) is always conserved under the unitary transformation of Eq. (71). However, in general, additional constants of motion exist. If the effective mixing Hamiltonian is composed exclusively of zero-quantum operators, it commutes with the z component of the total angular momentum operator ... 

Katunuma and coworkers (1971) described a protease in the rat that hydrolyzes the apoenzymes of a number of pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzymes it has no effect on other proteins or the holoenzymes. Presumably, it attacks the conserved amino acid sequence around the active lysine residue to which the internal Schiff base is formed. The activity of the enzyme is increased some 10- to 20-fold in vittunin Be deficiency, suggesting that its function is to degrade those enzymes that lose their coenzyme more readily, and so make more pyridoxal phosphate available for use by other enzymes. There is also evidence that some pyridoxal phosphate-dependent apoenzymes eue modified to become incapable of activation by pyridoxed phosphate, although retaining immunological cross-reactivity with the normed form of the enzyme in vitamin Be deficiency (Nagata and Okada, 1985). 

Section II and Table I show that state-independent effective operators can be obtained with norm-preserving mappings K, or with any of the three kinds of non-norm-preserving mappings K, L), K, L), and K, L). This section first proves that the commutation relations between two arbitrary operators cannot generally be conserved upon transformation to any of these state-independent effective operators. A determination is then made of operators whose commutation relations are preserved by at least some state-independent effective operator definitions, and a few applications are then presented. Particular interest is focused on operators which commute with H, including constants of the motion. 

The key step in deriving (4.7) is the commutation of P with H. Clearly, a similar reasoning applies when replacing H with any operator that commutes with H because such an operator also commutes with P. Therefore, this leads to Theorem V as follows state-independent effective operators produced by norm-preserving mappings conserve the commutation relations between H and an arbitrary operator B and between B and any operator that commutes with H. Given particular choices of P,...
