Alternative treatment of relativistic effects in linear augmented plane wave (LAPW) method: application to Ac, Th, ThO2 and UO2

A. V. Nikolaev, U. N. Kurelchuk, E. V. Tkalya

We examine the influence of the relativistic effects within the linear augmented plane wave method (LAPW) for solids and propose a few alternative ways to accurately take them into…
