An ab-initio converse NMR approach for pseudopotentials
arXiv:1003.1137 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.81.184424
Abstract
We extend the recently developed converse NMR approach [T. Thonhauser, D. Ceresoli, A. Mostofi, N. Marzari, R. Resta, and D. Vanderbilt, J. Chem. Phys. \textbf{131}, 101101 (2009)] such that it can be used in conjunction with norm-conserving, non-local pseudopotentials. This extension permits the efficient ab-initio calculation of NMR chemical shifts for elements other than hydrogen within the convenience of a plane-wave pseudopotential approach. We have tested our approach on several finite and periodic systems, finding very good agreement with established methods and experimental results.
