One of the most accurate approaches to solve the LDF equations for the single slab geometry is the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method (10). Here, we highlight only the essential characteristics of this approach for further details the reader is referred to a recent review article (11). 

As mentioned earlier, the existence of surface shifted core levels has been questioned.6 Calculated results for TiC(lOO) using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method (FLAPW) predicted6 no surface core level shift in the C Is level but a surface shift of about +0.05 eV for the Tis levels. The absence of a shift in the C Is level was attributed to a similar electrostatic potential for the surface and bulk atoms in TiC. The same result was predicted for TiN because its ionicity is close to that of TiC. This cast doubts on earlier interpretations of the surface states observed on the (100) surface of TiN and ZrN which were thought to be Tamm states (see references given in Reference 4), i.e. states pulled out of the bulk band by a shift in the surface layer potential. High resolution core level studies could possibly resolve this issue, since the presence of surface shifted C Is and N Is levels could imply an overall electrostatic shift in the surface potential, as suggested for the formation of the surface states. 

There are a number of band-structure methods that make varying approximations in the solution of the Kohn-Sham equations. They are described in detail by Godwal et al. (1983) and Srivastava and Weaire (1987), and we shall discuss them only briefly. For each method, one must eon-struct Bloch functions delocalized by symmetry over all the unit cells of the solid. The methods may be conveniently divided into (1) pesudopo-tential methods, (2) linear combination of atomic orbital (LCAO) methods (3) muffin-tin methods, and (4) linear band-structure methods. The pseudopotential method is described in detail by Yin and Cohen (1982) the linear muffin-tin orbital method (LMTO) is described by Skriver (1984) the most advanced of the linear methods, the full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave (FLAPW) method, is described by Jansen... 

We illustrate the spatially varying LDOS by means of the ( /7 x /7) R19.1° layer of sulfur on Pd(l 11) [209]. Figure 60 shows characteristic curves that are taken at different positions in the S layer. Within the empty states (<0 V) a lower current and dHU)/dU is found when measured on S atoms. This reduced electron density can be understood by means of the LDOS calculated by the full potential linear augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method [209]. 

The band structures of y-BN and (3-BN have been calculated (In context with that of a-BN) by a full-potential, linear, augmented-plane-wave (FLAPW) treatment. This Is the first ab Initio calculation for y-BN. The obtained energy band structure for y-BN is depicted In Fig. 4-22. Like a-BN (see Section 4.1.1.5, p. 38), y-BN is also an indirect gap Insulator. The gap of 4.9 eV Is produced by the valence band maximum at T and the conduction band minimum at K. The direct band gap (T-T) is 8.2 eV. The Brillouin zone of y-BN corresponds to that of a-BN [1].

Electronic To have access to electronic properties, electronic structure and band symmetries, atomic orbitals approximation are no longer valuable [69]. EHian et al. used the full-potential linear-augmented plane-wave (FLAPW) method and the exchange-correlation potential treated in GGA, to reveal electronic properties...

Pressure variation of the electric field gradient (e.f.g.) in highly pure powdered samples of As and Sb has been followed up to 2.0 GPa at 293 K via pulsed NQR determination of the appropriate As, Sb or Sb resonance frequencies. The results were compared with theoretical calculations of the total e.f.g. by means of full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) calculations. The theoretical values were approximately 70% of the measured ones, but comparison was limited to some extent by the accuracy of the values used for the quadrupolar moments of As and Sb. Additional uncertainties arose from the... 

In the 1980s, methods were introduced that permit dealing with a crystal potential of completely general shape ( full-potential methods). The full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method was developed by Wimmer et al. (43) in 1981. Another version of the FLAPW method was elaborated by Blaha et al. (44,45). A full-potential linear muffin tin orbital method has also been introduced (46,47).
